Sorry to not post last week! Students continued their Kehinde Wiley inspired portraits by adding color to their backgrounds with oil pastels to mimic the brightness of oil paint, like Wiley uses. I instructed the to use warm colors and cool colors to make their positive space in the background stand out from the negative space. It was up to them to choose which color group to use where.
Today, the second graders did a great job at a very difficult task. They began to draw their portraits based on a photo I took of them last week and printed out. I showed them ways to make marks on their page so that their drawing was in the same proportion of the photograph (we did the best we could by making careful observations). They are off to a great start! I will post more photos from today later on.
