Creative Portraits in The Keep

During the day we ran drop-in sessions to make Creative Portraits with a twist...

Instead of the heritage-based 'questions' used over the summer, we used extracts from the 'answers' shown in the portraits to act as a prompt. Following a similar process, people of all ages chose a slip of paper from the top hat and wrote their own response on a board. Then they chose upto 3 objects from the Pendennis suitcase, and decided how to pose for their Creative Portrait - incorporating the board and objects with themself in the castle Keep.

Here are the resulting portraits - as shown in a slideshow in the Keep during the event.
