The Inspiration for this project has come from the wonderful ideas of the iPad Art Room. They have some great resources for using Art and Technology together.
Stage 3 started the Project by defining what a "Selfie" was. The students discussed that it was a photo or snapshot that is taken of ourselves to show what we are doing, who we are with and where we are. These photos are then published to social media to show our friends and the wider community. It is often how we want others to perceive us.

Our next point of discussion was to compare Selfies to a self portrait. Many artists used similar ideas when they were painting pictures of themselves, while also experimenting with colour and painting techniques. We created a chart to compare selfies and self portraits.
The students then had to brainstorm, thinking of places where they would like to have a selfie, who they would like to have a selfie with and what they could include in their selfie. These ideas then formed the basis of the photos that they students took. They also came up with some creative solutions by using iPad apps such as Pic Collage to recreate some of the ideas that they had.
The students will write a reflection on why they think their photo is effective and what it portrays about themselves. It will be interesting to see what they write!
