Concerning the integrated topic of Globalisation, inquiries and class discussions led students to reason that
Australia is a nation of immigrants. 

They created a ‘new Australian’ – one who was made up of facial features of a variety of races
almost like that of an identikit photo – with a touch of humour and distortion.

The students created a tonal bar scale to grasp the concept of a range of tones, and then proceeded to apply this
knowledge to the portraits.  Dry brush techniques were used to subtly blend the varying tones between the
photocopied facial features.
