Symbolic Self-Portraits

Help me give my students paint, paint markers and other tools to explore their creativity by painting. The variety of colors and mediums such as the paint markers will lend to projects with finer details and more freedom in what they create.

My Project

My students love to paint, but are constantly asking for more variety in colors, help in trying to mix the exact tone they want or paint markers for tiny details such as lettering. The paint, canvas boards and other supplies listed here will enable them to have those tools they are asking for and create the artwork they are envisioning.

I have such a creative bunch of students.

I am constantly amazed at how their brains work and how well they think outside the box on their own or with a little nudging. Challenging them to paint themselves in a non-realistic manner will give them the freedom to express their inner as well as outer selves.
