In kindergarten, on the first day of art, I have the students draw their self portrait. I pack them up and save them until the end of the year for our last big project.
We started out painting a back ground and then drew ourselves with pencil. The pencil lines were drawn over with sharpies.
Kindergarteners worked on coloring in the eyes and mouth with crayon. I felt having them paint that would be too detailed and they would get frustrated. The skin, hair and clothing were painted in with paints.
Finally, we were ready put all the pieces together. The first day of art self portraits were glued onto the back and the painted backgrounds were glued on the other side.
Black lines that were painted over were redrawn. The self portrait was then cut out and glued on.
I like showing some examples of where the kids were and where they got to!
And here is another one!
And still another!
It just goes to show you how much incredible growth there is in this year of kindergarten!
