Self Portrait
This is a self portrait. I drew my lips as a paint tube because I like to make art. I drew a cupcake because I like to eat cupcakes, and a shoe on my necklace because I like fashion.
-By Oliva, 2nd Grade
In this unit, artists learn about how objects can stand in for feelings and memories. They look at different artists who used metaphor in their portrait work to help describe the personality of their portrait subject. They find different objects that help describe them, learn some basic facial proportions, then incorporate the objects into their portrait to represent their interior interests, thoughts, and feelings.
Tracing paper, magazines, pens, pencil, pink eraser, drawing paper, colored pencils, masking tape optional: mirrors or photos (to help identify features for their portraits), copy paper (for early finishers)
Lesson 1: A large selection and variety of books w/pictures for students to look through and trace—look for books that address your student’s interests (machinery, animals, cooking, etc.). These can be borrowed from the library or borrowed from classroom teachers.
