The document provides instructions for creating either a Dadaist or Surrealist self-portrait for homework. For the Dadaist option, students are told to collage images including machinery to represent themselves, with higher grades requiring more separate collage components and consideration of framing and character. For the Surrealist option, students are told to draw themselves from a photo but change their appearance unrealistically, with higher grades demanding free-hand drawing and added backgrounds. Students should choose either approach to complete the assigned homework.

1. DADA
Collage parts of images you find to
create a figure that represents you. Try
to include machinery.
Grade >2:
Collage at least three separate
components making sure they fit
appropriately with the image of you.
Grade 3:
Consider the background and how the
figure is ‘framed’. How does this convey
the character being presented?
Grade 4<:
Use drawing media to link the separate
parts of the collage together.
SURREALISM
Draw a picture of yourself from a
photograph. Change something about
your appearance in a way that wouldn’t
be possible in real life.
Grade <2:
You can trace the original image if you
wish and work in colour pencil.
Grade 3:
Draw freehand and use a media that
allows you to mix colours and blend
tones.
Grade4<:
In addition to the above (level 6) add a
realistic background.
