Through personas we may reveal our true ourselves, authentic tidbits, or absolute caricatures. During this project we will develop personal personas. Throughout the project we will work with local artist, Shelly Korte, as well as EMHS alum who are photographers, painters, poets, and musicians. Each experience will be designed to delve creatively into developing a self-portrait of the person of your choosing. We will work in portraiture, voice, video, and a variety of other media. We will look to personas from the past to the work of current artists in some of the most famous venues in the United States.
