Self Portraits - Face Look Project

The last two weeks we have been making self portraits. Students have been working from photographs, mirrors and memory. The emphasis has been on structure and using lovely thick and colourful paint. Ive also encouraged the students to use the brush as a drawing tool. Some students have started on their second work, the portrait being more formal the second more abstract.

"Face Look" Cultural Project 2013

The "Face Look" project is underway. The Cornucopia Art Group received a cultural grant to run the portrait painting/making project from the Ryde Council. The group have been working since January on preparation for the project. The main outcome for the project is for the artists to produce a body of work centred around the theme of explorations in to identity. Official start was last week and the first workshop was centred around building a 'small' clay bust. The results were exceptional. We have a total of 14 artists involved in this project. The small busts will be fired - here they are drying.
