The inspo for this project comes from Art With Lee blog.
Third graders did a phenomenal job on this artwork! They began by creating a tissue paper background. One class was a little behind so they used tempera paint instead. Both results turned out beautiful. While the students painted with paint or tissue paper, I called them up to take their picture one by one. The pics were printed for the next week.
The next week, students cut themselves out carefully and glued their portrait to the colorful background. Then, they brainstormed positive character traits to describe themselves. This was extra fun because it coincided with their ELA unit on positive character traits. I love a good cross-curricular lesson!
They wrote their traits in marker and could use funky lettering if they wanted. Then they cut the words out and glued it to their composition. These are so outstanding!
