Dita Pepe, a Czech photographer from Ostrava, takes photos of herself as part of different families and with different men. "The Self-portraits" series began in 1999 with photos of Pepe in other women's lives, but just as her life and partners changed, her 2003 MA project became “Self-portraits with Men.” The project is ongoing.

Usually, when a baby is born, the family takes it upon themselves to document the early lives of the said baby, capturing everything from their first word to their first steps. The said photos, videos, and artwork often have a lot of sentimental value for the families and it is something they treasure a lot even after many years have passed.

There are so many ways to approach self-portraits with children: observation, inspired by a particular artist, symbols of interests and activities, the list goes on. This time, I wanted to create an engaging, multi media
I first used this craft as part of an “All About Me” themed session where we also made a fingerpainted house and created some fantastic self portraits on the painting table! It's really simple idea and craft but very often the most simple ideas are the best! It was such a popular craft for younger children that it’s one I’ve taken out and about again and again. Kids love to make their whole family so it’s worth printing out quite a few extra templates – and it’s a craft that can be used as a great learning tool for colours, families and body parts as well as exploring different textures. Older kids can also use it as a scissor practice exercise! This is what you’ll need Stiff a4 card Glue Pens or crayons A box of different materials – fabric, card, papers,wool, tissue…….. Firstly, print out the A4 template below onto card – like I say it’s a good idea to print out a few! You should hopefully be able to copy and paste this template and then resize it if needed - if not then you can download templates elsewhere or just draw your own person! Let your child get creative with the template, materials and glue – dress it, colour it in, add hair (or not!). You can either leave the person as he/she is on the card – or try cutting it out to make a cardboard doll!

Learn How to draw a Custom faceless Portrait using the procreate App. A super easy technique that I will walk you through on video!
I was inspired by the beautiful school portrait mural at smART Class, and thought we would give it a try here at Suffield. During our first week of art classes, we went over art room procedures and rules, and then we got down to the joyful business of creating artwork! We made these wonderful little portraits based in color theory in first through fifth grades. The students drew and then colored themselves based on the color of table where they sit. The younger grade levels colored themselves using the red, green, yellow, or blue color families and the older grade levels added an analogous color partner. I love this idea and am happy with the results! "Life is like a rainbow. You need both the sun and the rain to make its colors appear." -Author Unknown

I love self-portraits. It always amazes me how much each child's personality comes out in their drawings. I constantly have parents asking me, did my child draw that?! The answer is yes! With the right directions/facilitation you can help each child do their best. I love the results of this project and it's simpler then it looks. This project usually takes us about two days. I begin by giving the child a blank piece of paper. (I use white card stock Then I ask each child to think about what their face looks like. Is it round like a ball? Oval like an egg, etc. Then I ask them to draw their head. It's important to use permanent marker, because washable markers will run when painted over. Then I ask the child to think about what they have on their head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, etc. DON'T DRAW HAIR it will be added later. Last, I have them draw two lines down from their chin to make their neck. Then, we look at our multi-cultural paints together and choose the shade that matches the closest. (You can find multi-cultural paint through discount school supply) They paint all of the white space on their head/neck. I cut out their portrait after it has dried and glue it down on a piece of white card stock. Then we work on their hair. I use blonde, black, and brown yarn. I ask them about what color their hair is, is it long or short, does it need to be braided, in a pony tail, curly, etc. This part is very teacher directed. Some accessory ideas; colored yarn for hair ties, barrettes, streamers folded up for bows, pipe cleaners for head bands, jewels or beads for earrings. Then, it's time to paint in the eyes if necessary. I use white acrylic, because the tempera paint lets the color underneath seep through. Then the child adds a dot with the color of their eyes. We added writing to our art that says "My name is ______." You can read about adding writing here. We display our self-portraits all year in the classroom and then send them home in portfolios at the end of the year. Fall weather has FINALLY arrived here in St. Louis! I'm enjoying a lazy Sunday with the windows open and Cardinal baseball on TV. If you like the ideas found on my blog, please leave a comment and follow me! :)

For the past couple years I've been doing a family portrait drawing project with my 3rd graders for their Square 1 Art fundraiser project. I mean.. who could resist a child-drawn picture of their family? If my son brought that home I'd buy two of everything! #adorable Drawing with 3rd graders can be tough. Some of them are still at the point where they are willing to try drawing whatever.. but unfortunately some of them reach that tipping point where all of a sudden if they aren't immediately successful, they think they can't do it. That's why for this lesson I took a more step-by-step approach with them. We all began on the carpet in my classroom. I showed my students a brief PowerPoint explaining what a family portrait is, and then we compared and contrasted two very different family portraits drawn by children (one was an image I found online and the other was an example by one of my 3rd graders). We talked about how the portrait drawn by the 3rd grader had a background, was fully colored, had the family members overlapping to create space, had thought about body proportions, etc., while the portrait found on the internet did not. My students all agreed that the portrait with all the extra details was definitely a more successful drawing. Before beginning my demo, I told my students that if they already knew how to draw people and wanted to do it their way, then AWESOME - they could go back to their table and get drawing! BUT if they thought that they might be able to learn some new drawing strategies by watching me, they should stay on the carpet. Out of all my classes so far this year, I've had 3 students decide to go get started on their own (and honestly their drawings were fantastic). I broke up this project into a bunch of steps. My students would watch me draw something and explain to them why I did what I did, then they went back to their seats and did it themselves. Then once they were finished with the step, they came back to the carpet so I would know that they were ready to move on. All in all, this project took most of my students 4-5 45-minute class periods to complete. Before my students drew anything, I had them repeat the saying "Draw light until you know it's right!" like 5 times. This was especially important for them to remember because we would be erasing a bunch of what we drew. Step 1 - Draw a horizon line and trace your family member's heads. I explained to students that a horizon line is where the land meets the sky in a picture. So they used a ruler and drew a horizontal line somewhere near the middle of their page. Then I gave them two differently sized head tracers (ovals I cut out of posterboard) so they could add their family member's heads to the page. Adults were drawn with the large sized tracer, while the kids were drawn with the smaller tracer. I'm not normally a fan of using stencils/tracers.. but if they drew their heads too small, they would've kinda been doomed from the beginning. There are bigger battles people - use the tracers. *This idea came from the wonderful smART Class art blog. We also talked about the placement of the heads on the page. Adult heads should be placed higher on the page (above the horizon line), while children's heads should be lower down (but not too low though because they still need space to draw the body)! We also talked about how the heads should be staggered on the page (you don't want a kid's head immediately under an adult's head). If the heads aren't staggered, students end up losing a lot of detail on the person in the back. To help illustrate this point, I arranged a group of students in front of the class so they could see why certain arrangements would be a problem. Step 2 - Draw the necks, necklines, and shoulders. I had students draw two lines down for the neck and then connect those two lines with a 'V' or a curved line for the neckline (where the shirt meets the neck). Then they drew curved lines that were at least as wide as the head extending from the bottom of those lines. Students who had trouble drawing these lines with a curve were told just to do straight lines out (which would later be adjusted). Step 3 - Draw waistlines. Students found the halfway point between the shoulders of a person and the bottom of the page, then they drew a horizontal line about as wide as the head. Step 4 - Draw t-shirts on everyone. Before beginning this step, I emphasized how important it was to draw the shirts of kids in the front of the picture before the parents in the back. If students started with the people in the back, they would have to end up erasing a lot more because the people in front would cover part of their detail up (overlapping). Students drew two lines up from the waistline, then curved the shoulder line down to create the sleeve. They also went ahead and drew their people's arms and hands in. We talked about how people's arms typically go past their waistline. I told them not to stress about drawing fingers. If they could do it - AWESOME! But if not it was perfectly okay to draw them balled up. Again - there are bigger battles. I swear some of my kids would've spent the entire class period just trying to draw hands if I had let them! It was also important to let them know what some of the detail on the people in the back would be hidden.. but that they should keep drawing everything that they would be able to see. Step 5 - Add bottoms (pants, shorts, dresses, shoes). Students just extended the line down from the side of shirt to create the sides of the pants. If they wanted to create a dress, they just had to erase the waistline and then extend the line down and draw the bottom of the dress. If they were drawing shorts, we talked about how legs are often smaller than the width of shorts. We also talked about how people don't normally have their feet sticking out to the sides. Students were encouraged to draw the shoes as if they were projecting out forwards (towards the viewer). Drawing the shoes this way was a big "WOW" moment for a lot of my students! 😊 Step 6 - Add the face and hair. I demonstrated how I would draw my own hair and face on my drawing, then sent the kids to complete their drawings. A couple things we talked about were: -remembering to add details like eyebrows and ears -drawing more realistic eyes that appeared about halfway up the person's head -how the tops of ears usually line up with a person's eyes -how hair can change the contour of the top of the head Students had a lot of wiggle room here. Ultimately they were told to draw the facial features how they wanted to. Step 7 - Outline everything with a sharpie pen. Students were to trace over EVERYTHING with a sharpie pen. "Mrs. Nguyen.. even the eyes?" "Yes." "What about the hair?" "Yes." "What about the horizon line?" "Yes." 😒 Once they were done tracing, they went over everything with an eraser to clean up their drawing. This is when a bunch of them realized that they had missed an eye or hand with the sharpie. Step 8 - Color in the people with crayon. This is where I really changed up my project from previous years. In the past I had my kids paint their pictures or use marker.. but this year I went with crayon and watercolor paint in the background. Why? Because the crayon and watercolor paint resist each other, so if the crayon is pressed down hard enough.. it makes it really difficult to accidentally paint over a person's face/body. All of my tables were given tester papers so that kids could try out a color before they chose to use it. I also encouraged my students to color all the skin areas first - that way they wouldn't accidentally mix up colors and end up with different colored patches of skin on the same person. Step 9 - Paint the background with watercolor paints. Students were free to paint their backgrounds however they wanted, but most opted for using green and blue. Were there some issues with proportion? Of course! But this is 3rd grade people! I think they turned out beautifully! **My students were all amazed how well they were able to draw their family portraits. 😁

Art glorious art! Oh how I love my job! Children, Art, Children, Art...throw in a little nature and I am in heaven. After weeks of labor and months of planning our "All School Celebration" art show finally arrived. It was a fabulous success. Here are a few photos to share: The picture above is an example of some of the children's seasonal explorations And here is a sampling of a classroom space study, complete with a collaborative robot and solar system... In this picture you can see both our study of watercolor media and the powerful immergent project of worry dolls that evolved over several months in the studio. Each doll is accompanied by an original story from the artist. These are a few of the self portraits and interviews we did using water soluble oil pastels. Every child in the school made one and I compiled yearbooks using their photos, portraits and interviews to sell at the show. Here is another angle of the space display... And here is a photo of the Autumn door we created as a mural in the style of Tony Ortega, 95% of the artistry on this door was done by children aged 3-5. How great is that! The school spent several months learning about Egypt. Here is a sphinx that we made with the help of my dear friend, coworker and professional sculptor, Amy Laugesen. And here is the pyramid and palm trees we made during our Egyptian immersion. These are some of the beautiful oil pastels created by the students and a few more surrounding one of the murals we made with Tony Ortega this year in the studio. And here I am moments before the show. Proud of the show but my greatest reward is that if you ask any of our students if they are an artist they will say YES without hesitation or doubt. They are celebrated, inspiring, creative artists and I hope that truth will plant itself deep in their hearts and continue to grow throughout their lives.
