Families!
Last week (or even this week) students should have brought home their Original Works Self-Portrait. This is an annual project and opportunity for families who wish to order a product with their child's artwork on it. I am so pleased every year with the growth in drawing skills and self awareness the students bring to their work. It warms the heart. Here is a sample of some of this year's self portraits.
This year we learned about 8 American painters from different parts of the country, different times in history, and different painting styles. Students work on creating a more realistic self-portrait as they get older drawing realistic eyes, nose, and mouth, then moving onto proper facial feature propositions. Each year, we build on our prior knowledge to move forward with honing our skills.
