COMMUNITY ART CHALLENGE: NUMBER 3

GUYZZZ amazing work on the last challenge.

 

how-to-get-awesome-back.jpg

 

 

Today’s challenge is to: DO A MICROSOFT PAINT SELF-PORTRAIT and write one of your signature strengths at the bottom!

 

List of signature strengths here

 

For me body image has been something I have struggled with for quite a while, and although I’m slowly coming to terms with it, it is something that I still have to work on and remember to challenge on a regular basis. So, I think it’s important that we stop sometimes to look at the positive parts of ourselves and recognise our strengths (inside and out)!

 

So, while you’re creating your avatar, remember to: Give your body some love!
Focus on your positive qualities, skills and talents and what your body can do rather than on how you look. The body is amazing; appreciating and respecting all the things it can do will help you to feel more positive about it.

ZOMG @hartley_ I recently got my drivers license renewed and the only thing different about the 2 photos was what I was wearing. Hahaha. Resting bitch face was there. Got my student ID done yesterday and the chick said 'I think you should smile'. Hahaha. I'm glad I'm not the only person who zoomed in to create the image.

Microsoft paint is my nemesis - how does anyone write or draw properly on it?! Anyway, here's my attempt at a self-portrait. My signature strength is gratitude 🙂

 

Curious to see everyone elses!

@lokifish sweet work! i completely agree with @Student94 - it's clearly not your nemesis. you rocked it!

Student94Posted 17-03-2015 03:22 PM

@lokifish Judging by that portrait, I don't think Microsoft paint is your nemesis! Gratitude is such a valuable strength to have 🙂 All your contributions to the art challenge have been magnificent so far!!

Ok so this took me a good hour cause I went all out and did a full on background. 

Hair is really hard to master on paint and so are hands (thats why I've got none)

My strength is brave.
