First grade self portraits

First graders looked at many artists and many self portraits. We learned that every detail in the self portrait is important and tells us about the artist that made it. Using mirrors, we sketched ourselves. Then we used construction paper and wall paper to create a collaged self portrait. In our background we drew things that we liked. Then students worked with Ms. Poleski in la clase de Espanol and wrote 4-5 sentences, about themselves, in Spanish on their self portrait.
