1st Grade- Abstract Texture Portraits

Students thought these portraits were hilarious and these only took one class to finish but we had to work fast.

Students folded a large piece of white paper into fours. In each sections, we used a different color and texture plate. Therefore, we ended with piece of paper full of texture rubbings. Next, we chose one section and drew and cut out a head shape. We discussed how the head shape could be any shape since this is abstract. Students then glued it onto their black paper. We proceeded to do these steps  for the eyes, nose, mouth, ears, body.I kept reminding them to glue their pieces and they cut them out so they wouldn't lose anything.
 Once most of the class looked like they had gotten a good start on their abstract portrait, I passed out crayons and markers. Students used these to add for details to their portraits and to outline some facial features to make them more obvious.
