3rd Graders started their self portraits just before winter break. They have been working hard on this difficult project. They have learned how to set up their face for facial proportions using fractions to measure the distance between features. The students draw EVERYTHING themselves. I only help them at the start to make sure their face shape is symmetrical.
This week we learned the 'magic' trick to make our faces symmetrical. I helped this week a little bit by sketching in their hair. Hair is very difficult for students to draw and there are a lot of different hairstyles which make it almost impossible to teach in a timely manner.
Stay tuned, next week we are painting in some color to finish off the portraits! Then, I will post pictures. (I was too busy helping students to take any of our progress!)
