Faces of Buffalo
Tonight, I discovered a neat project that goes on each year in the Buffalo area called Faces of Buffalo.
First, you print out a 2006 Self Portrait Response Form. Then, create a self-portrait of your face using crayons, markers, paint — any media other than photographs. The 1,000 or so self-portraits are then combined into a mosaic of a buffalo. Be sure to check out their website to see and order past year's mosaics. Sales benefit charity.
Creativity is encouraged, but skill is not. The nature of this project is not to obtain the highest quality self-portraits, but instead to create a high level of participation in this community project. In fact, the website states that "Brian Nesline was inspired to create a bridge between artists, non-artists and art itself."
I think I'll try and participate this year. Perhaps I could roll this into my practice to create some abstract art this year.
