This painting was finished just before Kate and Grace celebrated their 20th birthday.
How many similarities and differences can you spot between the two?
The artist has given us clues to show us their different personalities.
Who do you think is the more outgoing and why?
If you could show your personality in a picture what colours, objects and setting would you choose and why?
Warm up by finding a mirror and pulling as many funny faces as you can.
Write lots of different emotions onto strips of paper and put them into a hat.
Take it in turns to pull them out and act the emotion using only your face- NO SOUND ALLOWED!
How many emotions can people guess from your face?
