First Art Lesson

So this year, each classroom teacher is responsible for teaching art to their homeroom.  Although I knew this would be challenging at times, I was very excited for this chance to be creative and see my students' creativity.  Luckily, I found this helpful website: Art Lessons.  The first project I had my students work on were self portraits.  These were unique self portraits because half of them are realistic and the other half are abstract.  They used symbols that represent them to form the abstract side of their portrait.  This was definitely a challenging first project, especially for not having much art education background, but it was fun for both me and the students.  
Here are the final products!
