Self Portrait Art Lesson - Ideal for first day of school

A self portrait art lesson suitable for children aged 7-12. Lesson explores the concept of a portrait/self portrait and invites the children to use lines of different shapes, sizes and lengths to create a powerful self portrait. I have been teaching this lesson for many years and have tweaked it each year for improvements. Images within the lesson of finished pupil work as well as a step by step breakdown of each part of the lesson.
Perfect first day of school activity to put up in your classroom to make a wonderfully creative and colourful display.
