4th Graders Learn About Ways in Which One Can Add Character to a Portrait

Children in 4th Grade are working on creating character-filled self portraits this month. We began by looking at portraits dozens of portraits. Children were given descriptive labels and asked to walk around and place their label on the portrait that was congruent to their description.

During the end of the class the young artists were asked to describe three things about themselves and to list ways in which they could include these characteristics in their portrait.
