This week Mrs. Russell and I both used new materials we found to make self portraits!
A self portrait is an artwork you make that shows yourself!
Mrs. Russell reused cardboard cereal boxes and a brown paper bag for her self portrait! She drew the parts of her face on cardboard, cut it out with scissors, and glued all of the pieces together!
I found pieces of tree bark on the ground during my walk one day and decided to collect it for a new art material! I used oil pastels to draw parts of my face on the different pieces of bark. Then I glued them together on a piece of paper in a mixed-up way (a little bit like cubism).
What new materials can you think of to use to create a self portrait? Try one at home and send me a picture!
I did all my work on paper and but I didn’t have your email to send the pictures of my work so I was sending them to my teacher, Mrs.Hammoud.
Hi Sadn,
You can email your artwork to Mrs. Russell at russeld@dearbornschools.org or Ms. Bruce at brucep1@dearbornschools.org. You can also submit your artwork through iLearn if you click on the assignment and then hit “add submission”. I can’t wait to see what you made!
