2nd Grade Self-Portraits















2nd Grade Self-Portraits
For their first art project of the school year 2nd graders created a self-portrait project. They started their art project by using oil pastels to create lines, shapes and patterns on their paper. When they were done with drawing they used watercolors and glitter paints to paint all over their art. When they were done with their painting they brainstormed and wrote “I am” statements and statements about what they like and don’t like. While they were working they had their photograph taken in any interesting way they wanted to show their personality. They finished by carefully writing and gluing their statements and photo on their painting.
I LOVE your personalities coming through 2nd Graders!

I am not sure who the original art teacher was but thanks for the inspiration!

  2. This is awesome. How many class periods (say 50min) did this take to do? Thanks. Andi.
