Our first grade students have been putting their finishing touches on their portraits of Mona Lisa. The purpose of the lesson was to teach the children how artists draw portraits showing realism. The children were given the challenge of if they could give the Mona Lisa a makeover, what changes would they make? I really think the children had fun using their imaginations to complete these portraits.
