Collage Self-Portraits

We read the book The Colors of Us by Karen Katz before embarking on these collage self-portraits.  I'm super impressed with how close to real-life they came out!

Character Trait Self Portraits

These are by grade 3, but grades 4 and 5 also completed a similar lesson.  We learned about self-portraits, Frida Kahlo, warm and cool colors AND character traits while creating these fabulously colorful works of art.

We Are Peace Builders!

For our very first project, every grade learned how to say peace in many languages, and created peace signs using words and patterns.  They looked awesome adorning the school for Open House!
