| The first week of school my all my students in grades K - 5 collaborated on this monochromatic self-portrait mural. Before we began drawing, I share a power point with my students about "What is a Portrait?" We looked at examples of portraits and self portraits by famous artists and talked about them. Each table was given a supply of markers, crayons, colored pencils, and (my latest favorite!) Crayola Color Sticks! |

| They first drew their self-portrait in pencil, then added color with the supplies provided. Each table had multiple shades of one color to use - some kids weren't too happy about having to only use one color, but when they saw all the projects arranged as a mural, they thought it was pretty amazing! So did all who saw it, so it was an amazing start to the school year at a new school! |
