4th Grade- Crazy Hair Abstract Portraits

Have you ever woken up with bed head? These students have. We did this project to connect our Zentangles to our realistic portraits (which is a project coming up soon). Students drew the face, hair, and shoulders with a pencil and then went over the lines with crayon. They then added details and patterns to the hair with crayon.

During our second class period, students painted in their portrait using water color. The crayon and watercolor created crayon resist.
