About this School Project (2nd Grade Self Portraits)
2nd grade students created mixed media self-portraits. A medium is a material that an artist uses to create art (paint, pencil, marker, oil pastel, etc.). Students were then asked to create a self-portrait and were provided a mirror, as well as step by step instructions and a variety of approaches for drawing different parts of the face.
Students then added color using colored pencils, markers, and a tempera wash.
Students included the following in their work:
-A drawing of yourself and facial features: eyes, ears, nose, mouth. Students could model for themselves in the mirror to depict an expression
-Students could add details to their background to express their interests and personality
-Skin tones using tempera wash
-Background colors using tempera wash
