Week One Review

The first week has flown by and we have completed our first project together; the visual map of me.

In this project, you work on top of photographs of yourself to create a highly unique and personal piece of artwork that speaks volumes about your current skills and your potential.

Here are two great examples from Connor and Bekkii.

Connor spent so long created his awesome rock hands and pop art inspired trainers he forgot about his head! So that was packed up and taken home in his backpack, hopefully to be returned on Wednesday!

Bekki's random collages clearly show her personality and the rainbow in the bottom segment goes some way to explaining her feelings regarding gay rights.

Great work guys, keep it up!

Visual Map of Me

Today we started our Visual Map of Me project which will run till Friday.


Visual Map of Me is based on four photographs of body parts and four questions:


Head:   Who am I?
Hands:  What am I good at?
Body:   What do I like/dislike?
Feet:     Where am I going?


Mixed media is used to work in layers on top of the photographs to try and answer the questions using words and pictures.


Keep watching for the final results!
