Self Portraits

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

BOOKMARKS

 The grade 10's were to develop an image that represented a story or fairytale that was familiar to them.  It was challenging for them to not represent just one scene but many of the different characters, scenery, architecture, clothing, animals etc. that was associated with their story.  In addition, they were to arrange all of these narrative elements in a very narrow pictorial space in a non-linear manner.  The finished drawings were about 10" x 26".  If you are noticing the line 3/4's of the way down it's because these are photocopies of the originals and they had to be photocopied twice and taped together because the originals were longer than the photocopier paper.

SCRATCHBOARD

These are some scratchboard drawings done by grade 10's.  The coloured ones are home-made scratchboard - oil pastels and black paint.
