You will need:
- journal, sketchbook or a few pieces of paper
- pens or pencils
- coloured paper (optional)
- magazines and newspapers (optional)
- scissors
- glue or tape
Write or find quite a few words that describe you… If you are writing, use different coloured pens and paper.
When you have enough words, cut out wide strips of some colours, patterns or backgrounds that you like.
Next, write the words “I Am” in the centre of your page, then begin sticking your strips in like a sunshine… then stick your words on your background rays, until you have created a burst of YOU! I bet you have made a beautiful page… This will be your starting point for your self portrait this afternoon! You could make a couple more if you enjoyed doing it…
