Self-Portraits with a Twist
I created this lesson for the students for them to think outside the box. Usually self-portraits are exactly what you think they would be....a portrait of themselves using paint, oil pastels, markers, etc. I thought of taking 4x4 squares and have them randomly traced on a piece of glossy card stock. Once they created their background, they were asked to put specific things inside their tiles. Some examples are: favorite flower, favorite animal, favorite season, favorite holiday and their name.
