Portraits over time
In MIss M's art class the children were asked to draw three self portraits. The first is a baby picture. The second as they see themselves in a few years time. The last as they will look when they are old.
After they completed the self portraits they were asked to write a bit about the person in the picture.
I found it so interesting to see what my daughter thought about life at each of these stages. I'll have to make sure to tell her that you do not have to stop reading when you get old!
Wow! What a neat exercise/art project for kids to do.

Yeah, when you are retired there is more time to read!

What a cool project! Really interesting to see what kids think of themselves at different stages.

that is a lovely idea. My 4 yr old is just starting to draw people with some clarity. I should encourage him to do a self portrait every year.

What a great idea!
I am going to have my kids do this.
{well, at least my four year old}
