Self Portraits

First graders have been working on a self portrait project as part of our "All About Me" theme where we are learning about ourselves, our friends, and what makes us alike, different, and special. Last week students painted backgrounds, painted skin colored paper, and cut out heads, necks, ears, and noses for their portraits. Today everyone added eyes and mouths and next week we will finish with eyebrows, hair, and details. These always come out beautifully and will hang on the wall in our classroom all year. Below are some photos of our process so far.
