They will be creating self projects in the style of Canadian Contemporary artist Sandra Silbersweig. This project requires a lot of preparation, we started with a pre-assessment of a self portrait to know how much our students know about the proportions of the face. When the students were exposed to Sandra's Art, they realized that the faces were quite different and not realistic, they were introduced to the concept of ABSTRACT ART which they found fascinating.
In preparation for the self portraits, students are learning about theory of color by creating a colour wheel and developing their understandings of color combinations: complementary colors, analogous colors, warm and cool colors, primary, secondary and tertiary colors. They were given primary colours and they needed to produce the rest of the colour wheel, they have loved this part of the project! Stay tuned for more photos of this fascinating project.
