What you’ll learn
This self-directed workshop will take and talk you through the whole process from start to end to help you on your journey of exploring collage and self-portrait.
This is supported by a downloadable PowerPoint that will support your learning.
Whilst our experienced artist tutor will tell you more about Psychiatry Dr Freud’s theory about the Id, Ego and Self, you will explore the different faces/masks we all have and use in our daily lives. This is a natural coping mechanism: We “often hide behind a mask” and do not show our TRUE self; we put on a mask in different situations. For example, we may act differently as a parent, friend, or work colleague.
You will cover:
- brief introduction to Freud and the Id, Ego and link to the ‘self’
- how to use your sketchbook to support creating your images
- how to create layers and to become more abstract in your thinking creatively
- information about artists that you can research to find out more about collage and self portraits
