Self Portrait Guide

This packet includes 6 pages of how to draw a self portrait. In this packet there are steps of how to draw more realistic eyes, hair, nose, and mouth. Some students need extra guidance and it Is hard to get to every student that needs more help...this packet provides easy steps to follow to eliminate so many "help, how do I draw___" questions. My 2nd graders were very successful with this packet and had no problem following the steps. I usually do a quick demo just so they can see the scale of how to draw it and go over the packet with them. I think this packet can be used for any elementary grade level!

After the drawing part students finished their portraits by coloring their faces with multicultural crayons and used a marker to design the background. Here is my youtube demo of how my 2nd graders finished their self portraits. Feel free to show this in your class or watch it to get some ideas for your own projects :)
