Self Portrait Project

New York, USA

Portrait by Maddelena in New York.
This activity was created to expand the "Describe/Draw" project. Drawing a person while only taking into consideration the physical appearance of an individual was not enough to interest and involve older students in the project. Older students have developed some good tools to draw a face; moreover their personality becomes more outlined.
We proposed to our students to build a psychological self-portrait:

to think about the mental image that each teenager has of himself
to translate his own image without taking the physical features too much into consideration and using colors, graphic signs and techniques as they prefer in a free way.
