This year marks the start of a new decade, so our teachers decided we should incorporate different decades in our portraits.
First we had to investigate different decades. We looked at costumes, hairstyles, colours and accessories that made each decade recognisable. We then practiced drawing the other side of our faces using these components in our art books.
Once we were happy we began our good copies. We first painted our patterns background on the photocopy photo side of our pictures.
After that we were done! Here are some of our finished portraits. Can you guess the decades?????
Thanks for reading our blog. We hope you liked our decade portraits :)
Wow Te Waka Ako - every time I see your pieces of art, I am amazed at the talent you display. This made me think of the time I had to complete a self portrait when I was at school. I had to place the image of myself in the window, so that the background was whatever could be seen outside of the window. I think if I were to choose a decade to place myself in costume for, it would probably be the 1920s, as I love the style from that time. I can't wait to see your portraits displayed.

ReplyDeleteMaidin maith Te Waka Ako,
ReplyDeleteWe had a lot of fun guessing the decades. We guessed 1960s, 70s, 30s, 20s and even 1800s. Your portraits are fantastic. Which bit was the trickiest?
