Each month at IJP the children draw self portraits.
It is always interesting and exciting to see the progress the children make in their fine motor skills, drawing and self awareness.
In Kitah Daled-Hey we use different mediums as we try to give the children as many experiences as possible. Usually the children look in the mirror and draw their portraits.
In September the children used Sharpies to draw their portraits. This month as we built on those skills, we did something with a little twist. We did not take out the mirrors. Instead, photographs were put into sheet protectors. The children used black sharpies to draw the outlines and then filled in with color sharpies.
When they were finished, the photograph was removed and replaced with light blue paper as a background to the drawing. All we can say is, “Wow!”
