During Term 5, Year 4 put a lot of effort into their self-portraits.
They have looked closely at the proportions of the face and used mirrors to examine their own faces. Did you know that the width of your face is equal to the width of 5 eyes? They have practised drawing their own features and the features of their friends. They have tried really hard to move away from cartoon lips and eyes to a more realistic form. The children have also learnt about the life of Frida Kahlo, a famous early twentieth century, Mexican artist who is well known for her own self-portraits. Frida often included symbols from her (tortured and tragic) life and the children have thought to include favourite objects from their own life.
We hope that you enjoy our gallery.
