Our theme for this month is SELF PORTRAIT.
Changing self image. We have all spent a lot of time recently in our own space, both physically and mentally. Within our community we have such huge diversity and disparity in what we have, who we are and the items we hold dear. For this task we will be reflecting on changing self image, reflecting both the internal dialogue and who we present to the world. Inspired by this self reflection, we are inviting you to join us in creating a self portrait with a difference. Think 3D Collage!
“The tool of every self-portrait is the mirror. You see yourself in it. Turn it the other way, and you see the world.”
Agnes Varda
Find a clear and blank space on the floor/bed to act as your canvas. Think big!
Be inspired by looking up alternative self portraits. Artists you could take inspiration from:
Giuseppe Arcimboldo uses fruit to create portraits.
Freya Jobins creates sculptural figures using a collection of discarded children’s dolls.
