While leaving in Bogotá, one of my side activities as an artist, was giving workshops for kids of different ages and socio-economical backgrounds.
One of the workshops I did the most was Character Creation. Sometimes based on stories that they wrote themselves, sometimes working with their self-portraits. On these workshops, we explore different techniques of drawing, painting and sculpting.
FANTASTIC CREATURES
SELF PORTRAIT
MY NEIGHBORHOOD
The assignment was to go around the neighborhood and take pictures from different people around. Then, based on this exploration, create new characters.
