Self Portraits

Oops! Please forgive me in forgetting to publish yesterday's post! Fortunately, we continued on self portraits again today. 

Yesterday and today the kids worked on their pictures. This second round of self portraits have been very fascinating to watch. 

Many of the kids, like S, have been concentrating very hard in adding detail to to their pictures. Yesterday, S started with a detail not many friends usually start with, her hair. 

"I'm starting with my braids first. I have a lot of them and want them to be on my picture."

She continued to work purposefully and adding detail to her face. 

"I am making my cheeks, and oh my eyebrows! I also need a big smile."

Each child took the time to really look at their face in the mirror and try to recreate that on the paper. They would comment on what they saw and how they could represent that with the black marker. It's so amazing to see such transformations in each child's drawings.
