Artist Statement: These are our self-portraits. We wanted to show how we look like and feel. We also used our favourite colours.
This group of P1 students learnt a lot about their unique facial features and created these self-portraits. Their classmates were able to identify them through their work and we are very proud of what they have created. - Ms Rene Ng
