your face your wayactivity pack
Creative Mojo and Creative Generations, a company that specialise in hosting intergenerational art workshops have got together to develop a “Your Face, Your Way” portrait community project.
We would like you to produce a self portrait which will be unified along with all the other entries to create a final communal piece of artwork to be displayed digitally.
We have looked at two artists for inspiration for this project Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso, both of which were fantastic at capturing emotion and feeling in their portraits. We would like you to try and capture your mood and feelings about the present time to help us create an artistic interpretation of society during lock down.Creative Mojo specialises in working with people with Learning Disabilities, Dementia and Mental Health Concerns, however the project is open people of any age, ability, schools, retirement communities, parents or simply anyone who wants to get involved.
