Realistic vs. Abstract Self-Portraits : 4th Grade

 
 This project was from the beginning of our 1st 9 weeks together and I just haven't gotten around to posting these. So here they are!
 
We discussed the steps of drawing a realistic self-portrait.
 
 
 
They outlined their pencil drawings with oil pastels....

 
They painted with tempera cakes...we talked about "arbitrary colors" that aren't realistic.





 
Finally, the next class I taught them about mixing skin tones using acrylic paint. (won't do that again!) And they painted over their arbitrary color with realistic colors....turned out pretty fun for an experimental project. :)
