Providing quality art supplies to every student will allow our students to focus on the creation and enjoyment of their art. This has been a challenging year for our students and their families. Providing an outlet for expression with guidance and support is our goal. Students will be able to take the art lessons and projects home to share with their families. Giving them a chance to have conversations and enjoy their creations. Families will not have to decide how to get the items and can focus instead on the process and creation of the artwork. Example Lesson: “Object Self Portrait” Self Portrait Lesson Plan Students that may feel intimidated by the thought of creating a self portrait may enjoy this lesson. Instead of drawing themselves in a representational manner, students draw objects that represent them and put them together so that they resemble a face or figure. Students will be asked what is a self portrait? The teacher will lead in a discussion of how self portraits are images of artist that they create themselves. The teacher will also point out that at times symbols can be used to create meaning in an image. Students will then be asked to think of objects that might be seen as a symbol of part of their personality, for example, a paintbrush for someone who likes to make artwork. The students will then be told that they are to create a self portrait using only symbols or objects that represent them. This is a non-traditional self portrait. It allow the student to look at self portraiture in a new way and provide for an interesting outlet for self expression.
