Our MYP2 (Year 8) students are transforming clay into powerful self-portrait sculptures, capturing their most dominant facial expressions while exploring how art communicates emotion, personality, and identity.

Through creativity, observation, and reflection, students are learning that even the simplest materials—like clay—can become powerful visual stories about who they are.

Projects like this highlight the importance of student voice, creative thinking, and confident self-expression in the learning process.

At ARIS, the arts provide a space where students can explore identity, develop artistic skills, and express their unique perspectives.
