These portraits are created over the course of several months. The children work in layers, from internal organs to hand-mixed mixed skin, eye, and hair color, this is a math and science self portrait expressed through paint, glue, and paper. While this is a primary focus of our 4/5-year old class, it is supported by many field trips, documentation projects, reflection, and collaboration. If you would like to follow the pursuit, please search the tag, Sense of Self.
If only we could see a picture of the child! These are breathtakingly beautiful.
