MAKING FACES

MAKING FACES

Similar to the different facial expressions in Goya’s engravings, children first discovered their own facial expressions (happy, sad, surprised, etc.) They transmitted these expressions on paper using acrylic paint. Finally, they combined these drawings with pictures of noses, ears, lips, and teeth cut out from old magazines, creating entirely new faces through this collage work.
