back into childhood“

Artists identity
Can we see any of the artists identity in the images? Race, age, gender?
Art of the 21st century: Basquait
We can read his pictures without strenuous effort—
the words, the images, the colors and the
construction—but we cannot quite fathom the point
they make.. To enjoy them, we are not meant to
analyze the pictures too carefully.
YOUR TASK
For the next part of the project
you will be creating a self
portrait using one of the styles
from the artists work, which
you have just viewed-YOU get
to choose which one…
Will it be:
1.A frenetic colour selfportrait using the techniques
mixing graffiti and markmaking as Basquait
2. A self portrait in the style of
Vincent Van Gogh using firm
brushstrokes.
3. A quirky self portrait using
Frida Khalo as inspiration
telling a story of how you feel
inside?
4. A Picasso inspired self
portrait using a colour to
depict your mood?
