This is me, Zoe, 2026

Age 6

Acrylic on paper

‘I painted a picture of myself. I love lots of bright colours, so I made my portrait very colourful and happy. I used acrylic paints, paintbrushes and sponges. The sponges helped me make different shapes and patterns. My favourite part was choosing all the colours and painting my face in my own special way. I had lots of fun making my self-portrait.’

Seo mise, Zoe, 2026

Aois 6
Aicrileach ar pháipéar

‘Phéinteáil mé pictiúr díom féin. Tá go leor dathanna geala agam a d’úsáid mé chun portráid ildaite agus shona a phéinteáil. Bhain mé úsáid as péinteanna aicrileacha, scuaba péinteála agus spúinsí. D’úsáid mé na spúinsí chun cruthanna agus patrúin dhifriúla a chruthú. Ba é an rud is mó a thaitin liom ná na dathanna ar fad a roghnú agus m’aghaidh féin a phéinteáil ar mo bhealach speisialta féin. Bhain mé an-taitneamh as m’fhéinphortráid a chruthú.’
