I Am... Self Portrait Lesson 1


Left: Our classroom, with a centralized mirror/reflective objects display and posters and drawings hanging on the walls.
Below: Jason works on filling in a grid with different hardnesses of pencil to create an image.








I worried that Jason would dislike getting a flower for his picture, but he knew exactly what it was when he was finished:

"It's a Fire-Flower! It makes Mario turn into Fire-Mario!"




Others aren't sure what to make of their grids...

"I have no idea what this is supposed to be yet."






Right: The girls construct a story during snack time, using the pixel images they and their classmates shaded.

"This is the Mushroom Club, and they're going over here to see Mario."
~Lena




We conclude class with lessons on facial proportions and the beginnings of our first (realistic) self portraits...
