Oil Pastel Self Portraits

These are some recent oil pastel self portraits made by year 9 and 10 students during their portraiture unit.  They were asked to think about the significance of colour and how it can be used to help convey emotions. 

I did the same project with a year 10 class at my last school, which you can see photos of here.

This is a photo of one of my displays in my room.  It's the year 10 drawings.  Tonal pencil drawings and an oil pastel study using hot and cold colours.
