Self Potrait


This is a self portrait of me, Syafiq Rasyid. In this piece of art, I have used materials such as rocks, a shuttlecock, coffee beans, a couple of leaves, paint and many others. 

The best part about this craft I've made is that some of the materials I've used describe me in some way.


For example, the rocks for hair describes the fact that I am a hard-headed person. I used a shuttlecock for a mole because well, I've always been teased for having such a big mole right smack on my face and I have learnt to embrace it. I used leaves for the eyes because I kinda like green things around me and I appreciate natures surrounding me . the coffee beans on my nose describes how much i love the smell of the coffee. the based colour of the craft which is red was made from a poster colour mixed with PVA glue. the idea of mixing both of the materials is to stick the oats and other small things easily because i have less than 3 hours to finish this craft
