Students validate Self-Portraiture through EVERDAY EXPERIENCES!

In the contemporary moment with art making, Self-Portraiture takes on new roles in a variety of manner, even through the Internet. The Saturday Studios, Self-Portrait, high school class took on a collaborative Self-Expressive endeavor with aritsts, Miranda July and Harrel Fletcher. "Learning to Love You More" is a collaborative, NET-BASED art project created with artists Miranda July and Harrel Fletcher. The website, Http://www.Learningtoloveyoumore.com is a site where visitors can come and take on assignments created by the makers of the project. Each assignment can be accessible to a wide variety of people for its, ease in concept, fun and accessibility of using "the stuff" from our everyday lives. The results are surprising and can be posted onto the website as a Reporting. Although some assignments are simple and direct, there is a voice that seems to come through in the outcome of the assignments. This blog is a makeshift LearningtoLoveYouMore site because of the high traffic on submitting to the actual site. This site also, in turn, relates to Self-Portraiture because it conveys ones own personal thoughts from their everyday life through the looking lens of a collaborative and diverse effort. It is good to understand too that Self-Portraiture can go beyond the face into what we believe, how we think and who we are!
