Glue-resist Self Portraits DK - 2nd grades

This was my second self portrait lesson on 8.5 x 5.5 inch paper. The first year was a tape resist and tempera paints on black paper. For the 2008 - 2009 school year students made a glue resist with colored chalk on black paper. These examples were made by first and second graders.

Landscape - Construction paper and oil pastel 1st grade
Squash and leaves - White glue dried on black construction paper and chalk

The leaves project came from Diane Callahan from Adrian Schools.

I took the lesson in another direction by making stencils of squash. I loved it when one of my third graders could tell me the names of all the different squashes.
