K/1 Giraffe Portraits

As the K/1 students ended their self-portraits and began a unit on Africa, giraffe portraits seemed to be the next logical step. They drew tall vertical head and neck giraffe pictures, colored them with oil pastels, painted a background with tempera paint and mounted them on black paper stamped with a white African looking patterned frame. Lots of steps to an eye-catching result.
