sunshine college second friday of painting fugures

It was the second friday of painting our Exquisite Me figures. The figures are expressing things about ourselves. They are painted on three canvases, so they can be broken up and mixed with other figures as a metaphor for shared experiences and the complex identities that we all have.

We all tried to get our ground colours onto the canvases and completely cover them, and then begin to add the top coat and details with the professional artist's acrylic. So here is our progress so far. Next friday we will finish them off.

Exquisite Me is an arts project that explores the collective experiences, stories and representations of identities of young people in Sunshine and Brimbank. These experiences, stories and representations will be explored during various art and writing workshops run by  community artist Debbie Qadri. The artwork and writing will be displayed as a large collaborative work, in a number of venues in Sunshine, including Gallery Sunshine Everywhere. Some of the artwork and writing will be published in a zine format and also made into an artist’s book for the Sunshine Library. Workshops will be held at schools, community groups and at Council facilities such as the Sunshine Library . 
Thankyou for your support and involvement -  AMES ( Adult Migrant Education Services), Marian College, Ardeer Primary School, Sunshine College, Sunshine Library and  Gallery Sunshine Everywhere.
