Kindergarten- Self Portraits

Kindergarten Self-Portrait

In this art project, students learned about portraiture. A portrait is a painting, drawing,  or photograph of a person’s head. In this project students created self-portraits. A self-portrait is a painting, drawing, or photograph an artist creates of themselves.

To create these portraits students first created patterned backgrounds.  A pattern is a design that repeats and never changes.  Students then painted their self-portraits and collaged them onto their backgrounds.

In these art projects students learned the process of printmaking. Students created a stamp using foam. With a pencil, the foam was indented creating a pattern. A pattern is a design that repeats and never changes.  Then students used a brayer to roll ink across the stamp. Once inked the stamp is pressed onto a paper. Student repeated this process several times until they successful printed four pages. Students then collaged their prints and patterned letters onto a background paper.
