Sam Majer, Olivia Andrews

Year 8

Graphite on paper

2 pieces – each 85 x 65 cm

These graphite portraits were created in response to the prompt: What’s Your Spirit Animal? We made paper bag wearable sculptures to go over our heads, merging our spirit animal and self. The drawings were created using graphite on heavy cartridge. Olivia is shown as a compassionate and empathetic pig while Sam identifies with the strength and determination shown by the ram in challenging circumstances. Side by side, both works highlight our inner thoughts, persona differences and anthropomorphic connections.
