2nd grade ended the semester by creating family portraits using colored pencils and watercolor. I taught the kids different ways to draw facial features by demonstrating and by passing out example sheets with variations of lips, noses, and eyes. We talked about where to place the eyes, nose, and mouth and how to draw the bodies by overlapping to show who is in the front, back, and middle of the picture. We looked at pictures of family portraits through-out time and talked about how it feels to be in a family. Some of the kids were unable to finish this project and will hopefully finish at home. The pieces that were finished are currently hanging in the hallway and are pictured below.
