Lincoln and I Self-Portrait

Lincoln’s first and second grade students recently performed cheerful songs for their concert in February.

On display were some precious and well executed self-portraits as well as the student’s interpretation of Abraham Lincoln!

They learned how to draw Abraham Lincoln by allowing me to take them step by step through the portrait drawing process.

After they had completed their President, I demonstrated how to create a simple self-portrait.  Students personalized their drawings by adding their own hair, clothes, and jewelry.  

The pictures were outlined in black sharpie and painted using watercolors. They are currently on display just outside the gym.
