Our Self Portraits and I can stories ...

We learned how to draw our faces. We did this by looking at ourselves in the mirror.
We talked about the shapes we could see. We talked about taking up all the space on the page.
We used pencil to draw the outline of our faces. Once we had drawn ourselves, we used watercolour tablet paints to paint our pictures.
The last step was to use pastels to draw in details like our eyelashes and patterns on our clothes.
We learned that we can add different layers and colours to build up our paintings.

Here they are up in our classroom.

We did some work with Mrs Arthur to practise using the words I can.

We drew picture of some of the fun and clever things we can do.

We told Mrs Arthur our stories and she published them for us.

Here they are hanging up in our room.

Mrs Broad put our name art posters up on the wall. We can't wait to see the new names go up as our class grows!
