Self portrait using paint

These self-portraits were very carefully drawn and painted.  The girls took great pains to make them look right and the results are sweet, painterly, and quite an accomplishment

Family portrait

Saturday morning class this weekend was family portraits.  The kids brought pictures of people in the family and we started drawing.  Its amazing to me what emerged and how wonderful and precious these drawings are.

I keep looking at them and smiling and enjoying the lines, the shapes, the expressions, and the intimacy of these sweet drawings.

First self portrait

These very young girls did their self-portrait this evening. So many different shapes to make the whole face.

Check them out - they are so sweet, so full of expression.

Self-portrait with hat

It was an amazing self-portrait class today - the kids did great and you can see the results for yourself.

Each kid brought a different hat and proceeded to draw, fix, draw some more, laugh about something, draw details, and finally to color the picture.  Coloring was more fun than drawing, I think.

Its hard to draw a face.  One's own face - which we see in the mirror at least twice a day, maybe more - can pose challenges. Try it sometime...

Looking at oneself

Checkout these fabulous self-portraits done by three young girls on a Saturday afternoon.  Two of them loosened their ponytails to draw their hair around their faces.  The details of colors and clothes are so lovely.

Sweet and innocent

Kids are so innocent.  They are also fearless.  Have you ever done a self-portrait?  Checkout these really sweet ones done by kids who are just 7 or 8 years old.  The colors and the expressions are such a reminder of childhood.

Delightful faces

A nice day in early spring. A cool breeze in a lovely backyard.  Five little kids and art supplies.  A recipe for creativity.

We had an hour. I gave the kids paper and mirrors and got them started on drawing the shapes of the face and the features.  Just look at what came out.  Its a class like this that makes it all worthwhile.

While packing up the supplies, we were just playing and marveling at the work done.  Then this portrait just happened and it gives me lots of ideas of what to do with the kids in the future.
