Contextual studies (Self Portrait)

  Ohaiyo guys! Guess what we did for Contextual class last week! Yeap, another self-portrait, haha...But this time is a bit different from before, this is hand made portrait from, what you can basically call 'Trash'!

  Well, to start it off, we gonna have to prepare our materials of course, so for my big master piece, I have taken whatever I see fit around my house, which included,

• some empty egg shells
• oat
• dried leaves
• 'stolen feathers' from classmates
• coloured candles
• buttons
• some unwanted red card board
• cotton
• spaghetti stri...i mean sticks  
• thin branches
• black sesame seeds
• glue

 First of all, what you need to do is take a photo of yourself and draw it out according to the photo like what I did....

aaahhhhh.....

   After I had drawn the outline of my face, I started off by applying glue on some part of my face and poured oat on it to let it stick as my skin.

 Secondly, i lighted up the candles and dripped the wax on the upper part of the head as my hair. And for the eyes, i used cotton as my retina and shirt button as my pupils. As you can see, I had also used the sesame seed as my thick dark eye brows and eggshells as my ears. As for my nose, i used the branch as my nose bridge.

wait for it....

tada!!

As a final touch up, i 'secretly' plucked some feathers from my classmates and used it as my jaws and dried leaves as my neck, keke....

And WALA!! it's done in just a few...ok maybe alot of steps! It does look quite cool as I did it myself wholeheartedly. *applause!

That's all for now, SIGNED OUT!
