Cultural Self-Portraits

Here's an assignment that I give Art 3 students. They are required to research a culture of their choosing and create a composite drawing that includes a self-portrait adorned in clothing, jewelry, make-up, etc. from that culture. Here are a few from this past year.

Arely chose ancient Greece. She also decided to include a pop of color.

Eddie chose to research the Aztec culture.

Here is Wynn as a Roman Gladiator.

Selena is a beautiful Egyptian Queen.

I love Usu's body language in his Japanese portrait.

Father and Son

This is a painting of my husband and my son. I let my son choose his own colors and paint on the canvas first. Then, I drew the image of both of them and painted over most of it, letting my son's handiwork show through in a few places. I also let him paint his hand and print it on a piece of paper. Then, I cut it out and glued it down in the top left corner with gel medium.
