Self Portraits

Here are some symbolic self portraits that my level one students did in coloured pencil crayons.

Self Portraits

A couple of recently finished self portraits by some IB 12 students - one collage/drawing and one coloured pen drawing.

Self Portraits

Some self portraits done recently - students could work in any medium and had to decide what they would reveal, how representational it would be of their physical features or they could take a symbolic approach etc.  It was wide open and I never know what to expect.  Students stood beside their work and sketchbook while senior students, teachers and administration walked around and asked them questions about their process, inspiration, sketchbook research, artist influence, what they saw as their technical weakness/strengths and so on.  Students had lots of opportunity to practice talking about their work and process to a variety of people and overall there was a great energy and buzz in the room with everyone talking and looking at the artwork.

Grade 11 Self Portraits

Here are some interesting self portraits done by a few of the IB 11 students.  

Self Portraits

The first six images belong to one student who explored in depth throughout her grade 12 year, the self portrait.
