Middle School Self-Portraits

The annual Parker self-portrait project has begun for the middle school students. The students watched a video on how different expressions change the features of a face and then reviewed rule of thumb methods for placement and proportion for achieving their likeness. They worked from mirrors, thinking about the shape of their face and trying to accurately locate and capture their features. They tried to put all these elements together to create an image that is recognizable as them.
