Pop Portraits: Unleashing the Power of Personal Expression

Pop Portraits: Unleashing the Power of Personal Expression

Inspired by the dynamic movement of Pop Art, this workshop will engage students in a thoughtful exploration of self-portraits. Through the lens of personal identity, students will harness their creative thinking skills to develop a unique “selfie” artworks that delve into the complexities of self-expression.

As the workshop progresses, students will have the opportunity to collaborate with their peers by transforming their individual creations into a group collage, unified by a common theme that explores the concept of group identity. This collaborative endeavour will foster a deeper understanding and appreciation for the interplay between personal and collective expressions in art.

Learning outcomes:

  • Analyze and interpret artworks that explore personal and group identity.
  • Create a self-portrait using Pop Art elements to express personal identity and emotions.
  • Collaborate on a group collage, combining individual artworks to represent group identity.
  • Demonstrate teamwork and collaboration skills.

Location:

This workshop can be offered as both an incursion and excursion.
