In STEAM Studio, the brightly colored digital self-portraits were inspired by a deep dive into contemporary art history, specifically POP Art and Street/Graffiti Art. As a preliminary foundation, lessons addressed artists such as Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Shephard Fairey, Banksy, Mr. Brainwash, Space Invader, Jean Michael Basquiat, and a variety of other contemporary artists. Students studied the visual correlation between Andy Warhol’s famous silkscreen multiple image, “Marylin” and Shepard Fairey’s iconic President Obama, “Hope” poster. Students debated the issues of graffiti, the occupying of public space, vandalism, artform, personal expression and public art. Students used a variety of digital tools such as iPads, Google Drive sharing, and Adobe Photoshop to create highly personalized multiple images of themselves that tap into an alternative portrait approach that is both expressive and personal.
