The first lesson for my 6th grade students was a self-portrait. This way, I could start to learn a little bit about them as well as give them a project that would be successful. These self-portraits turned out better than I expected!
We started our lesson by learning about different types of self-portraits throughout history... Van Gogh, Kahlo, Close, and finally Picasso. After describing Pablo's cubism style of portraiture, they were given their assignment.
We also discussed using warm and cool color combinations, one for the the background, and one for the face. I also gave them the option to use imagery in the background to help describe their personalities.
