5/6 Silhouette Self-portrait - 2016/17

The individuality of our silhouettes comes alive in these drawings by 5/6 students. We looked at a very famous image of two faces called "Rubin's Vase". This optical illusion was developed around 1915 by Edgar Rubin who was a Danish psychologist. Depending on how we look at the image, we can also see a vase. Noting the individuality of these images, students traced their own silhouettes with a finger to feel their own unique silhouette as a contour line. By adding color to only the face, and using only black lines, designs and patterns, these compositions are as individual as the students who drew them.
