In this lesson Kindergarteners learn about facial proportions and how to draw a self portrait. Using mirrors to observe their individual features, they began with a pencil sketch onto black paper. The kinders then chose an oil pastel to match there skin tone and began to color in there face and neck. Continuing with oil pastel to boldly color in their other features as well as the background, the self portraits come to life. These vibrant works of art should be admired and cherished by all. I am so impressed by our kindergarteners and the awesome self portraits they created. Just like true artist all the kids have their own unique individual style.
Most artists create self portraits, each year in art we will make a self portrait. We looked at many artist's self portraits and discussed how each artist has their own unique individual style.

Art is about seeing! In 1st grade we recently studied Vincent Van Gogh. Did you know Van Gogh's favorite color was yellow? He lived in a yellow house, and outside his house grew beautiful sunflowers. Van Gogh would pick them and paint them over and over again until the flowers drooped and peddles fell. We were so lucky to have bright fresh sunflowers in our art room to study. We looked closely and observed the sunflowers. Using pencil to sketch, then oil pastels to add and blend colors. These works came out fantastic and many can be found in our school's Artsonia Gallery. |
