My creative response

Evie’s Self-Portrait

About my creative response

“The quote made me think about myself and I wanted to draw a picture of me.

“I started by drawing my face using felt-tipped pens and decided to use bright colours because they make me feel happy and I wanted to make a happy picture.

“I used yellow for skin and purple for hair as they are different and it’s good to be different.”

 

When have you been ‘true to yourself’?

“I am true to myself when I am outside in the garden or forest. I like to be free to play in the mud, climb trees and play with sticks and stones. Sometimes my friends don’t understand why I like getting messy and they prefer more quiet play but that’s ok as we all like different things.”

 

What is your favourite Shakespeare play and why?

“My favourite Shakespeare play is A Midsummer Night's Dream because I love all the magical fairies.”
