Reflected Curiosity

Funded Nov 30, 2022

Our little Eagle Artists have been learning about self-portraits and facial proportions using the self-portrait mirrors that you funded. Older students will join them shortly as that will be an end of the year project for them. Next year those facial proportions will become a sketchbook activity and the mirrors will benefit us for years to come, helping students see themselves as special and unique and improving their observational skills and hand-eye coordination!

I substituted Crayola slick sticks when the extended oil pastel sets were not available. Bringing the smoothness of an oil pastel with a marker like applicator achieved the effect of making everyone feel special by getting them to see an unusual supply. We ended up using those more on snowmen in the wind pictures than on self-portraits...but I added some crayola colors of the world markers in for them to work with for the portraits.

Thanks a bunch for your support of our growing art program!”
