import java.awt.Color;		//color class 
import java.awt.Graphics;	//primitive graphics class 
import java.awt.Graphics2D; 	//Extends Graphics class
import java.awt.Rectangle;	//Rectangles class
import java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D;  //Ellipse and circle class
import java.awt.geom.Line2D; 	//Line class
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JComponent;

public class FaceComponent extends JComponent
{
	//Place drawing instructions inside this method
	public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
	{
		Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;  //Make graphics 2D

		drawGrid(g2);  //Draw grid to make it easier to create component
		
		Ellipse2D.Double head = new Ellipse2D.Double(5, 10, 100, 150); //Construct oval head (x, y, width, height)
		g2.draw(head);             //Draw head
		Line2D.Double eye1 = new Line2D.Double(25, 70, 45, 90); 	//Construct left eye (x1, y1, x2, y2)
		g2.draw(eye1);
		Line2D.Double eye2 = new Line2D.Double(85, 70, 65, 90);	 //Construct right eye (x1, y1, x2, y2)
		g2.draw(eye2);
		Rectangle mouth = new Rectangle(30, 130, 50, 5);	 	//Construct mouth (x, y, width, height)
		g2.setColor(Color.RED);			//Color of mouth
		g2.fill(mouth);				//Fill mouth with red
		g2.setColor(Color.BLUE);			
		g2.drawString("Hello, Class!!!", 5, 175); //Draw greeting (“message”, x, y)
		
		
		

	}

	public void drawGrid(Graphics2D g2)
	{
		// The following two for loops draw a grid on the screen to help you 
		// position your object.  Once you have finished your object, you can 
		// comment out the calling of this method
		
		//Draw horizontal lines
		g2.setColor(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);									
		for (int i=50; i<=600; i=i+50)
		{
			g2.drawString(""+i, 5, i);
			Line2D.Double horizonalLine = new Line2D.Double(5, i, 700, i);	
			g2.draw(horizonalLine);
		}
		//Draw vertical lines
		for (int i=50; i<=600; i=i+50)
		{
			g2.drawString(""+i, i, 10);
			Line2D.Double horizonalLine = new Line2D.Double(i, 10, i, 700);	
			g2.draw(horizonalLine);
		}
		g2.setColor(Color.BLACK);									
		//**End of grid
	}
}

I am so lost please help
Thanks in advance.

The method to use is drawImage. Set the forum/net, there are plenty of examples out there.

Here's how I do it:

a) the image is stored in a subdirectory of where the code is;
for code in project com.physpics.photos, the image is in
.../com/physpics/photos/images

b) I have this utility method in Utils

/** Fetches an image from the class directory's /image/ directory.
 * NB: The class must be "built" so the images are
 * copied from the src/ directory to the  build/ directory
 * @param path  Path of resource, realtive to the .class file's directory
 * Typically,  images are in a subdirectory of the class directory
 * and the path is of the form "images/icon.ext"
 * where ext is for an icon (ico) or an image (gif, png, or jpg).
 * @param description  The description of the icon for accessible contexts
 * @return  An Image, or null if there is an error.
 */
static public Image fetchImageResource(String path,
                                          String description) {
	java.net.URL imgURL = Tagger.class.getResource(path);
	Image o = null;
	if (imgURL != null) try {
		o = ImageIO.read(imgURL);
	} catch (IOException ex) { }  // defer to error message below
	if (o != null) return o;
	log.severe("Couldn't load image resource: " + path);
	return null;
}

(Note that the log.severe() call could be changed to System.out.println()

c) To load the image:

static final Image cat = Utils.fetchImageResource("images/cat.jpg", "my first cat");

d) For paint() to display the image at x,y: g.drawImage(cat, x, y, this);
