Cultural Arts Workshop: Dynamic Self-Portraits
Anna Podris and Keith Norval, both Savannah College of Art and Design graduates, are a husband and wife art team who are active in art education and will be leading this workshop for Wiley 4th and 5th graders.
From the artists’ website:
This project will demonstrate that the differences we have in our backgrounds and personalities make for a well rounded school community. Students will come away from this project proud of the unique contributions they make – just by being themselves! Students will paint a self-portrait of their face on a round wooden format, on the reverse they will choose to paint an object, animal or idea that symbolizes their personality and/or school values.
Paintings will be installed in rows by wire or string so that they line up. They can be installed outdoors or indoors. They will be reversible, so that the viewer can see both sides. To prepare for painting faces, the artists will custom mix a wide range of skin and hair paint colors. This project is a way to show how we are all different from one another, but also how alike we are. We are also able to modify the project for schools – relating the themes with curriculum or with school wide values.
