Students were given pictures of themselves that were covered with plain paper on one side. They were instructed to design a self portrait on the other side drawing themselves literally or figuratively. They were given markers, pencils, and colored pencils to accomplish the actual drawing.
Students were asked to make their BACKGROUND art on heavy watercolor using tempera paints, fabric, newsprint and other collage items.
They would then cut out their portraits and affix them on their backgrounds!
