Spectacular Self Portraits

Self Portraits can be a wonderful way of exploring art and ourselves.

Taking inspiration from key permanent portraits in our ‘Portrait Trail’, we will be using an array of upcycled and recycled mediums this half term to recreate representations of ourselves.

Daily Activities:

Loose Parts Self Portraits – Create 3D self-portraits by shaping cardboard pizza bases into different portrait shapes and combining with colourful loose part materials and tissue paper colour and textures. Recreate your likeness by exploring and playing with a spectrum of creative textured materials including feathers, wool, pipe cleaners, ribbon and sequins.
