YEAR 9 - AGE 13-14
IDENTITY MAPS- multidisciplinary unit

idenitty This project encouraged students to reflect on their personal histories and identities to create meaningful artwork. Students initially explored their own unique identities through their connection to 'place'.

​The final outcome of this project was a series of complex large-scale pen monochrome drawings and lino prints based on the concept of personal 'identity maps'.

Students also used elements of their identity maps final drawings as the basis for laser etched designs onto personal keepsake boxes designed and constructed in their design technology classes. 

Using Google Earth to research personal ideas

Inspired by the practise of contemporary Aboriginal landscape artist Bradley Kickett, students used Google Earth to locate and collect imagery relevant to aspects of their personal identity and connection to place.

Students used personal experiences and connection to place,  for example ancestral land, journeys, memories and their places in the world to create deeply personal and meaningful identity map illustrations. ​

Graphic positive and negative space identity map drawings

Using prior pencil planning sketches as reference, students used pens to create these graphic personal identity map designs. Students applied their knowledge of positive and negative space and black and white contrast.

Experimenting with background painting techniques 

Students created a collection of surfaces to print their identity maps on. Students took creative risks with a variety of experimental painting techniques and processes and explored colour theory.
