spot light on kindergarten

Our kindergarten students are making great progress with learning how to draw self portraits. I'm so impressed with what they have accomplished already this year. I had the students first draw a portrait of themselves without any teacher guidance as a formative starting point. It was interesting to see the primitive drawings of themselves. The following week I started the lesson on how artists should draw portraits. We went over such things as facial proportions as well as introducing the elements of design for shape and line. Below are just a few examples of their efforts. I think you'll agree that they are wonderful. Have a great weekend!
