Here’s a actually enjoyable twist on self-portraits!  I train the grades Okay-4/5 at my faculty and the center faculty artwork trainer is accountable for grades 5/6-8.  We’ve a brand new artwork trainer on the center faculty degree this yr and her title is Jayne Baitinger-Peterson.  She involves our college with over 30 years educating expertise on the elementary degree and she or he has been having fun with the change with center faculty youth.  She gave me permission to share these tremendous cool animal character self-portraits on my weblog.

Right here is how Jayne described her lesson:

“7/8 college students had been offered with a listing of character traits with a view to discover out what animal their character was most like.  We had some enjoyable figuring out our traits after which matching these up with a wide range of animal traits.  Character traits similar to; secure, nicely grounded, aggressive, enthusiastic, conservative, out-going and many others. and many others. all pertain to both carnivores, herbivores, rodents and insectivores, birds or reptiles in line with one analysis.  For instance, in line with a quiz that I took on-line with a view to put together for this lesson, I’m a shrew, from the rodent and insectivore class. The subsequent time I took the take a look at I used to be a herbivore, a sheep. Not the animals I’d have imagined I could be, not my favourite animals, however trying on the traits, I suppose I resemble a few of the character traits of every. Nonetheless, I drew myself as a polar bear.  Mathematically based mostly self-portrait drawing strategies had been utilized so as to attract our face.  Morphing the picture of the animal into our personal, overlapping the animal picture with our personal or combining animal elements with our personal, had been some concepts college students got here up with.”

Aren’t these enjoyable?
