INSPIRATION AFRICA!
Project 2
Sandhurst Junior School
ARTWORK/SCREEN PRINTING
![]() | What will I look like? | ![]() Using individual mirrors the class began by drawing portraits of themselves as adults, adjusting their features, the shape of their faces and hair styles and using the projected elements from their poems. |
![]() | Many of the girls drew sophisticated hair styles with complex braids and plaits whilst the boys drew beards, moustaches, receding hairlines and bald heads. | ![]() |
Features and face shapes were adjusted to resemble their adult faces and jewellery, body piercing, scars and tattoos were added to create the characters they were to grow into. The children were also encouraged to draw symbols and abstract shapes from their poems and writings to decorate, and in some cases work as features, on their completed faces. |

Once they were satisfied with their portraits they simplified them and cut out each seperate element ready for screen printing - these were laid out on dark paper so that they could work out their positioning. |
