Well its back to school time, and in preperation for class I began looking up the topic of identity. This is one of the areas that my senior students must complete. I came accross this site and not only did it provide good ideas on identity projects, it provided many other ideas for art class, it is well worth a look. http://www.pbs.org/art21/education/studentartprojects/index.html#. Have any of you run a scheme of work on identity, if so please share.
http://www.vam.ac.uk/school_stdnts/schools/projects/image_identity/image_identity_0607/index.html This site also has some excellent photographs of students art work. I found a great piece for an identity project too.
I like the thumb prints/typography projects on this site. http://www.danieleatock.com/project/holley-portraits/ see the picture above.
What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThese are great. Those are so interesting to view as art and as a story. . . .love them!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! Great resource!
ReplyDeleteI love the fingerprints! I am going to try to incorporate something like this in our curriculum for graphic arts this year. Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love the thumb-print one. I did a similar Word Portrait lesson with my middle school students. Any project that empowers students' sense of individuality and uniqueness is worth doing! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cool! I do an identity project every year as the first project for the quarter. I haven't uploaded all the information on my blog yet as I just started in December, but soon! http://art-paper-scissors.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteSome identity projects I have done:
- Micrography Portraits, using words about themselves
- Printing a portrait using styrofoam and displaying them on an "identity wall" or background
- Warhol inspired portraits, framing them off with identity words
- Surrealist hands, changing each finger/palm into identity objects
- Identity mandalas
- Silhouette collages with identity items
Those were some I thought of off the top of my head (you can see I really like identity projects.... haha)
These are great!! What a fun project idea : )
ReplyDeletethe identity works are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I love this idea! Thanks!

This project was a blast! I used it with my 5th graders for our school art show this year. Thank you for the inspiration. I will link back credit to you :)
ReplyDeleteThis would be awesome to use in a poetry unit during English class...
