An exhibition of Masked Self Portraits by four S2 classes from the Anderson High School.

Teacher of Art and Design, Janice Armstrong’s self-portrait lesson plan started to head in an unexpected direction as she realised that something had become so familiar she had missed it – all the students were wearing masks, with two thirds of their features covered. Here was an opportunity to do something different and mark an exceptional period in history.

The results are amazing, and so personal.

Come along and see the striking self-portraits for yourself - and help celebrate the artistic talents of Shetland’s students.
