Yes...a really
long long time ago, I wrote the last post on this blog and it is high
time I resume this again before this blog becomes a part of our arts
history:-)
Self-portraits have always fascinated me ever since I was a kid. Kids always love themselves and more often than not love to draw their own faces. Hence I conducted a self-portrait lesson in the art class and I must say...they came up with some extremely wonderful work.
As it was their first attempt at drawing a "real" human face, (of course real as it was their own face they were drawing) I wanted it to be more fun and interesting than to be challenging and tedious. Hence I created a starting point for them by providing them the following:
A) A template of a face, neck and shoulders made in corrugated board B) A mirror for them to observe their own features
C) A frame for their portrait, which they created based on their own design thinking. This is shown in the picture below:
