- Construction Paper
- Scissors
- Glue
Explain to the students what a portrait is. Also, talk about the differences between portraits and self-portraits. What makes a portrait realistic? What makes a portrait surreal? What are details? Why are they important when creating a portrait?
Have the students create a portrait entirely out of construction paper. Every single detail and feature must be a separate piece of paper. Suggest how to curl hair and eyelashes, make teeth, clothes, etc.
This would also be a good lesson to introduce Picasso and how his famous portraits distort the human face by putting the features in different places.
