Silly Self Portrait
Day 28: Silly Self Portrait
Welsh translation: Hunan bortread gwirion
“I am a comedian and community arts facilitator based in Birmingham. I work within a few disciplines, writing, improv, crafting, and photography.
I began to embrace myself more when I started focusing on enjoying being silly and weird rather than worrying about how others perceived me or fretting about what I looked like. This activity is to draw and realise all the silly stuff we do in our lives and enjoy that. I love swinging on swings and climbing trees, I love to review different fast food chips on a spreadsheet. I love wearing and using my heelys. This self-portrait allows you to look at all those little things that make you unique in your silliness. It allows me to realise I am creative in ways I don’t realise, like the way I dress, the way I chat and the way I carry out tasks. Creativity is everywhere and I would hope this task allows people to see that creativity in themselves.”

Do
Create a visual self-portrait of yourself.
It can be abstract, cartoonish, or lifelike out of objects around you. It can be a simple drawing or painting, or maybe even made with any scrap materials on offer like pasta shapes or discarded bits of ribbon and buttons.
Focus on the silly and the daft, maybe you can draw yourself in bright, colourful clothing, with fun make-up or hair, and maybe surround yourself with drawings or lists of all the silly things you enjoy doing. Fill the page with the silly stuff.”
Gwnewch hunan bortread gweledol o’ch hun.
Gall fod yn haniaethol, yn gartŵn, neu yn realaidd, wedi’i greu o wrthrychau o’ch cwmpas.
Gall fod yn ddarlun neu’n beintiad syml, neu hyd yn oed wedi’i wneud o ddefnydd wast sydd o gwmpas megis darnau pasta neu ddarnau bach o ruban neu fotymau.
Canolbwyntiwch ar y gwirion a’r dwl. Efallai y gallwch bortreadu eich hun mewn dillad llachar a lliwgar, gyda cholur neu wallt doniol, ac efallai gosod lluniau neu restrau o’ch amgylch o’r holl bethau gwirion rydych chi’n hoffi eu gwneud. Llenwch y dudalen â phethau gwirion.
Think
Think about the silly sides to ourselves, maybe the things we enjoyed doing as a child that we don’t do as often now. How can you incorporate silliness and fun into your day-to-day more?
Meddyliwch am agweddau gwirion ein cymeriad, efallai y pethau roeddech yn mwynhau eu gwneud pan yn blentyn ond ddim yn eu gwneud mor aml bellach. Sut mae ymgorffori mwy o bethau gwirion a llawn hwyl yn eich diwrnod?
