The 3rd graders recently completed a unit where they studied the life and art of Jean Dubuffet. This is an example of a self-portrait created by Dubuffet. The students examined this work and then created a self-portrait in a similar style to that of the artist.
First, they drew a picture of themselves. Next, each student divided their face into simple shapes. Finally, they filled these spaces with line and color. What striking self-portraits!
