Collages are things of joy and fun since they tend to be not just one piece of art but a mix of several. And the best part is that while like other art, it

For centuries, artists have created self-portraits to give others a glimpse into who they are. Since our likes and dislikes, personalities, hobbies, and skills all contribute to making us interesting and unique, why not include those in a self-portrait, too? And what could be a more fun approach to this than a mixed media collage??!...

I've been at Dos Rios/Two Rivers Elementary in Springfield all this week and last. We're making projects to take home, and some to sell at the Springfield First Friday Art Walk in May! This was their project that they were able to take home to their families: Self Portraits! For the older kids (grades 2-5) I did a more involved lesson on proportions of the face, colored with sharpie and tissue paper.... read that lesson by clicking here. For the Kinders and first graders, we did this version you see in the pictures. Read on to see how we did this lesson! Supplies: • Multicultural construction paper, cut in 6 x 9" sheets. • black sharpies • colored pencils • background colored construction paper, 9x12" • Small-ish rectangles of pattern paper (we used both wrapping paper and contact paper) • construction paper hair colors, cut into smaller pieces...half or quarter sheets. • glue sticks • scissors This can be done in 2, 30-minute sessions, or one longer one. • Day 1: Teach them suuuuper basic proportions of the face. Just show that the eyes go in the middle of the face, and show some ways to draw eyes, noses and lips. The first day, just draw the faces on the multicultural skin color papers, trace drawings with sharpie, and add some colored eyes (and whites of the eyes!) lips, and cheeks with colored pencils. • Day 2: Put it all together: cut a "shirt" rainbow shape out of the patterned paper, cut out the faces, add torn paper for the hair. Glue, glue glue. Then watch the cuteness happen. Love these!!

ABOUT THE ARTWORK This project is based on archive family photographs taken between 1940 and 1980. The collection included suggests an exploration of the national identity issue which, in the given case, is not just marked by the polemic in the family frame but that of the entire nation which it is a part of as well. I was born in the Republic of Moldova but at the age of 10 I immigrated with my family to Greece. Without any knowledge of the past of my origin, for many years, everything seemed to be covered in ashes. It was at a very early stage that I lost touch with my roots. I recently decided to take a journey to the past. I came across a rather large amount of letters written in the ’50 -’70 era, family photographs and my grandmother’s personal documents revealing her active political life as a member of the Communist Party of the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic. I slowly began to understand why there was little to no reference to that period. The first contact with this “anthropological museum” was accompanied by hostility and emotional detachment fueled by the fact that the letter was written in Cyrillic. As emotional this first contact with them proved to be, that much intense was the rupture between myself and the national, as well as my own, historical past. I know well however that this is a part of me, indifferent to the ideological hazard that takes place between us two. As oxymoron this phenomenon might be, it dwells not only in every household but in the entire ideological, historical and cultural context of this nation. The discourse of this project is situated on a problematic level woven to personal as well as collective memories of a people in transition, in which the only way of historical debauchery involves embracing the past. This process involves not just an awareness of the memory of the past, but also a reconciliation with it. This collection of photographs and documents has generated a subconscious impulse to combine the fragility as well as the ephemeral element of the flowers, which can also be seen as a form of natural “stain”, with the characters in the pictures while at the same time introducing the physical element. By doing so, I also seek to create a parallelism between the photographic process and that of a herbarium, by which we try to preserve ‘’ life ‘’ on a flat, two-dimensional surface, while at the same time underlining the fact that we are all ghosts, trapped in a repetitive cycle of a journey between the past and the future, that are altered by external forces such as territory and socio-political context.

When it comes to art, many of us enjoy the many sensual benefits that it has to offer but hesitate to take up any form of it as we feel that it is too tough.

Humans are cool. REALLY cool, actually. We’re full of complexities and eccentricities and a uniqueness that makes us one in a million! We can see ourselves in the mirror. We can see ourselves in photos. But have you ever seen yourself in a collage?! Here’s your chance to create a self portrai
