How we represent and celebrate skin color matters! These conversations help children be able to stand up in their power. We need to normalize conversations about skin color differences, uniqueness, the visible and invisible things that compose our identities. This fosters pride in young children. In our classroom one of the ways we celebrate people is by having skin color drawing utensils. We want our students to be able to represent all the skin tones of the world. It’s also important to think about when a child wants to represent themselves, how do we as teachers and parents support this? How do we celebrate and bring awareness to skin color in a positive way?

I’ve been doing some photo studies to work on my anatomy and diversity of facial features a bit. Not quite sure whether they should be sorted (in my chibi, general, lifedrawing, general, repeat posting scheme) as Lifedrawing, since they are at least semi realistic humans, or if they should go by general art since I’m not drawing them from life. Thoughts?

Angélica Dass, Humanae

Humanae is a work in progress, who intends to deploy a chromatic range of the different human skin colors. Those who pose are volunteers who have known the project and decide to participate. There is no previous selection of participants and there are no classifications relating to nationality, gender, age, race, social class or religion. Nor is there an explicit intention to finish it on a specific date. It is open in all senses and it will include all those who want to be part of this colossal global mosaic. The only limit would be reached by completing all of the world’s population. This taxonomy adopts the format of the PANTONE® Guide, which gives the sample a degree of hierarchical horizontality that diluted the false preeminence of some races over others in terms of skin color. The presentation of the range of color shades induce the viewer to reflect on one of the dual meanings containing the word identity: that associated with equality. Humanae activates a semantic mechanism with an “innocent” displacement of the socio-political context of the racial problem in a safe environment, as is a color catalog in which the “primary” colors have exactly the same importance as “mixed”.

What is your pantone?

Riding more shakey trains, studying from nma.art, reffing more faces from @humanae[0] and doodling people at Costco.

It was a busy day.
