Week of 9/4/2023 - Finishing Self-Portraits

 This week 2nd and 3rd graders returned to complete their self portraits. Students from each grade outlined their drawing with a chisel tip black Sharpie marker and wrote their adjectives (for 2nd grade) and sentences (for 3rd grade) using a fine tip Sharpie marker. They erased pencil lines and matched their skin color from the crayon set by looking at the mirror. I explained that some may find a perfect match while others will find a color that is closest. I also had students get feedback from their partner if they were having trouble finding a color. They also added a color for their hair, eyebrows, eyeball, lips (from the same skin color set, how awesome that they have lip colors too!), neck, ears and shirt. We added watercolors for the background to complete works. 

I had several ready made black frames that I cut the edges of so! I took photo copies of the self portraits with frames to display them in the local library.and will laminate the original and display them for Celebration of art.
