Summer Craft 2011 - #2

Self Portraits

After explaining to the kids what a self portrait is, they got started sketching their portrait in pencil while looking in a mirror.







I love 'em!  Isn't homemade kids art just the best?!

{We used 11 x 14 thin canvas, which I got in a 3 pack on clearance at Michael's.}

cool!! i like the pic of izzy checking out her teeth in the mirror. :)

here's an idea: enlarge a photo of each of their faces... then draw lines on the photo to create a grid of squares... then draw lines on the canvas with the same number of squares (just bigger), and they can do one square at a time...

do you know what i mean? it can really help them hone their skills. :)

sorry i missed you on skype tonight. love you!
