The story of Rembrandt's self portraits

Article by Adrian Zain

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn is in most regards considered to be one of the greatest visual artists in history, as well as being one of the greatest Dutch painters of all time. His dozens of paintings and drawings were intimately beautiful, and awe inspiring. He was also a very dynamic artist, with him painting and drawing all sorts of things from portraits to historical scenes, Rembrandt practically went into dozens of themes. But his prolific and well-known artworks, are the many self-portraits he did over the many years he was alive, and they give us an incredible insight into Rembrandt that we rarely have with any other artist that was born at that time.

My name is Hamna Gadar. I’ve completed my school life and also intermediate. Apart from my academic studies at school, I have always enjoyed participating in sketching and painting activities.

Hey everyone!! So I’m a storyteller basically. I’ve been writing down and putting together stories since I was little because I’ve just loved it! I’ve always loved attaching stories to anything and anyone I come across and drawing them out in the form of comics is my way of expressing those stories into more than just mind maps or ideas.

Article by Willie Jimenez

I recently wrote an article about how taking photographs, along with travel, helped me with building a visual library. I feel it was a great way to learn composition and learn what makes a photo unique and interesting, by trail and error, without the time and effort it takes to do the same with a drawing and/or painting.

Artwork bby Deanna-Marie

I am a college student about to graduate with my bachelor’s. I’m also a mom and for the past four years I out my artwork on the back burner for my education and because I thought my abilities weren’t enough. Art has always been my favorite activity. I started getting into art when I was in fourth grade and it blossomed from there. Eventually I was in high-school where I entered competitions and the AP selection. However, I always felt like my art style never truly could compared to those around me.
