Each year every student in grades K-8 work on a self-portrait This is a wonderful way to get a glimpse into the way the students see themselves, as their drawing and observational skills mature. When all the work is hung together in the school hallway, the viewer gets a terrific look at the different developmental stages from those just entering school all the way through to those who are about to graduate. All the students focus on proportion and placement of facial features. They progress from tempera paint to colored pencil to just graphite, working on values and shading. The portraits become the pages of the school calendar for the coming year so they can continue to be appreciated after the original work is returned to the artists.
Here are some pictures of the k-3 student work in progress.
