3. Voice Lesson #4
You will examine a self-portrait by Romaine Brooks, a famous painter. Think about how Brooks expresses her voice—her style or personality. Look carefully at the details of Brook’s self-portrait.

4. Write About It
What is Brooks saying about herself? Complete two sentences as if you were Brooks in this portrait.
I am…
I feel…
Base your statements on the picture, not your own feelings.
How do you know what Brooks is saying about herself? What evidence can you find in the picture that supports your statements?
