I love this art project that Mrs. Taylor did with her students from various grades.  It is a self-portrait, but with a twist.  It also explores the inner-self: hobbies, talents, etc.  It's fascinating!  I wonder what I would draw if I had to draw my outward persona and my inward persona. It should make us all stop and contemplate the nature of individuality.  While I'm sure this artwork is not intended to be too philosophical, it does remind me of the years when I was studying for my philosophy degree and the complexity of ideas.  Am I on the "inside" that which people perceive me to be on the "outside"?  Philosophy has always given me a headache, so I won't think about this for too long.
