学生讨论了自画像和“自拍”现象本质的差别。 学生们给自己拍摄了富有表现力的“自拍”照，并从中创作了一幅钢笔画。 我们以此来指导我们的铜版画创作。

Using only the Primary Colours and white each student painted a panel. We chose the work of Albert Gleizes to follow because of his use of neutral colours. The students learnt about Cubism and one advantage of following this style was each panel became an abstract work allowing the students to concentrate on colour.
每个学生仅使用三原色和白色进行色彩的调和训练。 我们之所以选择Albert Gleizes的作品，是因为他使用了中性色。学生们了解了立体主义，并且遵循这种风格，这使得每个小组都完成了一幅抽象的作品，它的有点在于让学生更加专注于色彩。
To celebrate Louise Bourgeois’ work coming to Shanghai we researched Maman (1999) : a bronze, stainless steel, and marble sculpture. The sculpture, which depicts a spider, is among the world’s largest, measuring over 30 ft high and over 33 ft wide (927 x 891 x 1024 cm). The title is the familiar French word for Mother (akin to Mummy). Maman (1999) alludes to the strength of Bourgeois’ mother, with metaphors of spinning, weaving, nurture and protection. Her mother, Josephine, was a woman who repaired tapestries in her father’s textile restoration workshop in Paris.
The students chose an animal to sculpt that would represent a family member metaphorically. They were to accentuate certain features of the animal to reinforce the metaphor.
为了庆祝路易斯·布尔乔亚的作品来到上海，我们研究了她的作品《Maman》（1999）：青铜，不锈钢和大理石雕塑。 这幅描绘蜘蛛的雕塑是世界上最大的雕塑，高30英尺，宽33英尺（827 x 891 x 1024厘米）。 标题是母亲熟悉的法语单词（类似于妈咪）。 Maman（1999）暗示了Bourgeois的母亲的力量，隐喻着旋转、编织、培育和保护。 她的母亲约瑟芬在他父亲的纺织品修复工场修理挂毯的工作。学生们选择了一种动物来代表一个家庭成员，他们要强调动物的某些特征来隐喻跟这位家庭成员之间的联系。
