Let's make our self-portraits

There are many different ways to make a self-portrait. It has not to be a traditional drawing or painting of your face. 

Idea from: http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/elem/selfport.htm#Names
Making a self-portrait is a great way to express and explore your identity.
The idea is to do the silhouettes of your head and fill in your head with a magazine collage of what is going in your brain, what you prefer, what you are fond of...
Ideas to get you started: clothes, music, words, sports, food, people you admire, singers, actors...
Trace your head on two white papers (using the window). Then filled in the head shape with magazine images in one of the papers. The second one will be the template of the final frame of your self-portrait, so, you will have to cut out the inside part. Let's do it.

Bob Dylan, by CaliburlerSoul
Another way of making a portrait is using typography instead of traditional elements. Do you remember 45 amazing Type Faces- Typographic Portraits?. Really amazing! Le's make something similar with your pictures just writing your name (or your sign).

A poster is an example of the hortatory function of an image. It can be an advertisment (ad of a film, play...) or propaganda (ideas).

Information about soldier kids

Un niño o niña soldado es cualquier persona menor de 18 años que forma parte de cualquier tipo de fuerza o movimiento armado, ya sea regular o irregular, en cualquier condición, incluyendo pero no limitado a, cocineros, porteros, mensajeros y cualquier otra persona que acompañe a dichos grupos y no sea solamente un familiar
Reclutar niños y niñas soldado es una práctica habitual en el seno de muchos conflictos en todo el mundo. En algunos, años y años de guerra han agotado a los adultos en edad de combatir: sólo quedan niños. Los niños sirven para todo en tiempo de guerra: combaten, cocinan, acarrean agua, actúan como señuelos, mensajeros o espías.
Estos niños y niñas han sido secuestrados en la calle, sacados de las aulas o campos de refugiados. Otros muchos son forzados a salir de sus casas a punta de pistola, mientras juegan cerca de casa o caminan por la carretera. Algunos niños se han unido de forma “voluntaria” ante la desintegración de las familias a causa del conflicto, las condiciones de pobreza y el desplome de servicios sociales básicos.

BEN OKAFOR "No Child Soldiers" Bemamou. This video brings together BEN OKAFOR with other African artists, Alpha Blondy, Kidjo Angelica, Mama Keita, Lokua Kanza, Bibie, Monique Séka, Charlotte M"Bango, Aïcha Koné & Madéka. Because the talent and the popularity of these artists are large, they represent a formidable vector of information and action to help to fight against the exploitation of the children soldiers.
