This task could be used as part of an Art and Design project on the theme of portraiture or identity, or it could be used for Photography. The task would take one to two hours. The task begins by exploring the work of artists Barbara Kruger and Jenny Holzer. Students are asked to begin by researching their work further. After taking a series of portrait shots students are asked to explore adding text to their images in oder to tell us something more about the subject. Prompts are given to help students think about what they might want to include in their text. A link is included to help support students in the use of text paths in Photoshop.

I have used this project for a number of years with Year 8 groups. It is designed to introduce students to artifacts from a non European culture and develop their skills in 3D modeling techniques. Students also explore cultural reference to animals and develop skills in mark making when painting/drawing their animal as well as developing design skills when designing their own masks.
