I liked this chapter a lot, probably my favorite in the whole book. Self portraiture art at any age is really interesting to me. I think self portraits convey a persons inner soul. I believe they have a lot to do with psychology. Having a patient draw a self portrait can help diagnose possible behavioral issues the individual might have. This diagnostic technique is used a lot for children because they show so much personal feeling through drawings. I have attached a self portrait drawn by a young girl. It is apparent in this picture that the girl might feel confused about her race seeing as she has drawn her self split in half with two different skin tones. I also wonder if her parents had been telling her for a long time that she is half this and half that.
