Building a positive image of the people that make up the community and not using portraits to exhibit stereotypes or prejudice is very important. On the contrary, you should try to eliminate them and be more respectful about the differences resulting from reflection and artistic creation. This is why dialogue and cooperation in creating the portraits include the community in the process so that people have an active role in building their image.
These are the most relevant aspects of the project:
a) Acknowledge the diversity of cultures, ethnic groups, genders,ages, bodies, faces, and lifestyles present in your community to contribute to the elimination of violence and discrimination against these groups.
b) Use portraiture to analyze different techniques and to illustrate these differences.
Create portraits of people and build a dialogue with them about the creation of their portrait so they participate in it; that is,to share stories and consider significant elements they want to include in their portrait.
Comprehension and Production
Gathered in communities, do the following activities to exhibit the portraits:a) Set up an art gallery in a public space. You may use the walls of your school, the town's park, or others. Use local handicraft materials and techniques.
b) Make your portraits using the community's handicraft techniques,such as embroidery, pottery, wood, or stone carving, among others,to give life to your portraits. You can make 3D portraits connecting cultures and origins with local materials.
These are only suggestions. You may include additional objectives or change them according to the classroom community's needs or experiences.To complete the activities, you will use the following timetable:
