Year 2 have been exploring self portraits this half term – understanding how they can be made and why people draw them. We have tried making our own self portraits in many different ways including with loose parts, pencil and watercolour. To draw our fantastic self portraits we looked closely at our faces in the mirror before sketching each feature at a time. This week we painted our portraits and learnt how to mix watercolours, create different intensities of colour and how to choose an appropriate size paint brush for our artwork. We are very proud of our creations!
