I like to start the year off with a self portrait but was a bit bummed that our best feature, our smiles, would be covered by a mask. In this video, we'll chat about self portraits created in the past by well known artists. You can see images of these artists' portraits in the pdf presentation attached to google classroom. Next, I will show you how to create a ‘surprise’ folded portrait to reveal what our face is expressing behind our mask!
(Thanks to fellow art teacher Cassie Stephens for this project inspiration)
