Lichtenstein-Inspired Self-Portraits

Hello there! 
This is a first-time lesson (Update: lesson plan from The Art of Education <3)! In third grade, we create onomatopoeias inspired by Roy Lichtenstein. In this lesson, fourth grade takes it a step further by adding their self-portraits into the mix! I took pictures of the students, printed out the faces, and had the artists trace their most prominent features with sharpie on clear transparency paper! We then used only primary colors on the portraits, and of course, included Ben Day dots. The students LOVED the process of creating the portraits, and working with this medium for the first time! The results are great, and the process was super fun! Click the pics to enlarge!












Thanks for checking this out!! =)
