Piece of Me

This was a 4 days project and I have worked with 4 different age groups each day. “Piece of Me” was a collage of individual memories or expressions which came in the form of the abstract form of paintings like graffiti. We invited 4 age groups of the community to draw, write or paint on canvas, something which represents one part of their life or childhood or unexplained feeling or emotion which come out as an expression on the canvas . It was an abstract collage of expressions which could be something personal of an individual but Idea behind was to link everyone personal story or memory one place to represent as a community. Main Idea was to draw and paint on 5 canvases. Each age group was asked to leave something which the next group can turn into something different. It’s like footsteps. The final outcome looks like that everyone adopted one style or theme. Few kids started using hands rather using brushes. In a few minutes, there were so many vibrate colours were on those canvases. Kids were drawing, and painting different things like their name in style, monsters and butterflies. People who could draw start writing messages and poems on the board. So, it was an exercise which started from expressing their selves to ends up the biggest turn out for love messages for the community centre. People start writing messages in different languages and some in Numbers which was the whole point of this project to leave their marks without being afraid. There is no right and wrong and that’s reflected in this project when it comes to express. It connected emotions and energy combine and created a powerful visual.
