Grades: K - 5th
Materials: 9" x 12" white paper, pencil, crayons, small hand - held mirrors
Procedure:
After I have gone through all the necessary procedures that
comes with the first days of school, I have the students draw a picture
of themselves. They get to see first hand what they look like because they
look at themselves in small mirrors.
I got the mirrors at a local Dollar
Store. The students draw a picture of themselves and when they are through,
I ask them to put their names on them and then I take them up. I usually
hang them up across my room and call it the "Student Art Gallery". At the
end of school, I ask them to draw another picture of themselves, same way,
but, these they get to take home along with the picture they drew at the
first of the year.
They get to compare the two and hopefully see how their
drawing has improved throughout the year It's great fun and they love to
look at themselves in the mirror!
