Throughout the first three weeks of this term we looked at creating self portraits using different artists perspectives. For the first portrait we painted ourselves on our classroom windows. This introduced all our visitors to the Room 4 Learning Community. For our second portrait we had to imagine ourselves as anything we liked. Some students were Hollywood starlets, while others builders, scientists, nurses and even football players. For our third and last portrait we looked at the artist Matisse and how he created his backgrounds using lines. shapes and bold colours. We also looked at an abstract technique which saw us painting our faces purple or green!
Our Learning Outcome was to...
Included all main facial features like our mouth, nose, eyes and ears, with most of these facial features the right size and shape and drawn in the right place. That we have added at least two other features of our face like our eyelashes, earrings. We have used line around the outside of our self-portrait to make our colour stand out and have used colour combinations to show differences in our skin and hair colour.
These portraits gave us the opportunity to explore the idea of abstract... where our choice of colour tells a story. Things are not always what they seem!
We then explored the artist Matisse and his idea of using shapes and lines as the background to our self-portraits.
These are our masterpieces...
