Peculiar Personal Portraits
by Corinne Mucha
About this activity
What can a drawing capture about you that a photograph cannot? In this project, we will explore a variety of techniques for producing a surrealist, expressive self-portrait. After looking at works by Enrico Baj, Suellen Rocca, and Karl Wirsum for inspiration, students will use whatever drawing tools they have on hand to practice new ways of mark-making before producing one large final drawing.
These activities and projects are best for fourth to sixth graders.
