Today, we are going to embark on an exciting journey into the world of self-portraits! 🎨 Have you ever gazed at your reflection in the mirror and thought about how you see yourself? This lesson will help you express that unique image through art!
Gather Around: Find a partner to share your ideas with. This can be a friend sitting next to you or even someone from another table!
Reflection Time: Look into a compact mirror or, if you don’t have one, simply close your eyes and think about what makes you you!
Share Your Thoughts: Take turns sharing three words to describe how you see yourself. For example, you might say “creative,” “funny,” or “curious.” Listen carefully to your partner and think about their qualities as well.
After you share, let’s think about how we can put these ideas into action!
Self-portraits have been created by artists for centuries, allowing us to see their perspectives and personalities. From Vincent van Gogh to Frida Kahlo, these remarkable artists used their unique styles and emotions to express who they were.
By the end of this lesson, you will each create your own self-portrait! 🖌️ Using the expressions and adjectives you shared with your partner, think about how you want to represent yourself.
Now that we've warmed up our artistic minds and shared how we see ourselves, it's time to dive into the world of colors, shapes, and creativity. Are you excited to discover what your self-portrait will reveal about you? Let’s get started!
