This week the students had to present themselves using the art of type drawing. I want them to summarize themselves using keywords. Here is what we did:
First I let them make selfies or some good self-portraits. Next was writing down 20 keywords that summarize yourself.
Then we imported this into the Type Drawing app.
Afterwards they selected a color and a keyword from their list. With this word they could start drawing on top of the original image, creating the new piece of art. TIP: use the opacity feature to preview the end result.
The final step was to export the end result and share it at an art exhibition in the classroom.
