Teachers can choose the direction of the Portraits, either self portraits, or character portraits. Students either create their own character, or capture the essence of a character from a chosen story. Portraiture and expression come into play as students bring out subtle details about their character, and the story setting. What does “surprise” look like? How does a scowl and a furrowed brow tell us something about that character? What time of day, what season, does the story take place? Proportion emphasized. Allow colors and brush stroke, watercolor pencils and details to complete the picture! Students continue to elaborate and reflect with their writing, finishing with a presentation to the class, including peer review.
