4th Grade-Self portraits.

Day one-we drew in our sketchbooks and practice drawing realistic facial features. During this time we also talked that realistic facial proportions. We did this step-by-step together using the overhead projector, students also mirrors at their desk to make sure that the facial proportions I was telling about were correct.

Day two-students received a 6 x 9" piece of white paper. On this paper they drew their face at a realistic scale. They used pencil first and went then went over their lines with sharpie.

Day three-students color their portrait using markers or colored pencils. They glued their self-portrait in the middle of a black 12 x 9" piece of paper. On the black paper they use construction paper crayons to draw or write about hobbies and things they enjoy don't in their free time.
