“BE WHO YOU ARE” SELF-PORTRAIT PROJECT
Try this activity: from Welcoming Schools Human Rights Campaign Foundation
Take some time and read the quote by Kai Cheng Thom from the book from the stars in the sky to the fish in the sea.
“Whatever you dream of, I believe you can be; From the stars in the sky to the fish in the sea; You can crawl like a crab or with feathers fly high, and I’ll always be here, I’ll be near standing by...”
When you take the time to listen deeply to yourself, who are you? How do you see yourself when you listen deeply?
Create a picture of yourself. Make it a picture showing the REAL you, the you that you picture when you listen deeply to yourself. Maybe the real you has tiger stripes and wings or scales like a fish. Maybe the real you wears a crown and carries a sword. Maybe the real you has purple hair or wears a witch's hat. Maybe the real you always wears cleats and carries a lacrosse stick.
Create your picture of you anyway you like. Make an avatar. Take a photo and send it as is or add things to it. Draw or paint or make a collage!
