Upper School have been exploring the identities represented in Tudor portraits. We learnt that portraits were used to signal many things including three main aspects: character, status and power. 
 

We then explored modern-day portraits, including digital and mixed media portraits. Some of us wanted to challenge ourselves by drawing a portrait of ourselves or someone else before editing. Others edited a digital photo by hand to signal different aspects of their personality to capture in their portrait…

 

We’ve had a lot of fun doing it this way and now looking forward to editing our portraits digitally.
