Who doesn’t love to celebrate all year long?! The resource we are focusing on in today’s post is all about celebrating amazing student work throughout the year. It can be looked at as just one more thing to do around your classroom, or you can grab this Student Work Holder and make it an easy rotation in your classroom. Check out the lesson and finished product below.
This resource comes with:
– two directed drawing guides
– face and hand drawing starter template
– self portrait reference page
– four “My Current Masterpiece” label options
– five digital background papers
Not only do you end with gorgeous frames for your classroom (enter a bulletin board that can stay up all year – yes, please!), but you will also have your students create portraits of themselves that will truly be a keepsake for years to come.
When is the best time to complete this “My Current Masterpiece” lesson? We see educators do it two different ways. The first option is to complete it within the first couple weeks of school. If you don’t have anything to put in the frame, grab this free download of “Amazing work coming soon!” that fits perfectly into this frame.
The second option for teachers is to use this as a parent gift for the holidays or end of the year. Parents, caregivers, special adults in your students’ lives will TREASURE this keepsake. Bonus it gives them a specific place to put all that gorgeous work that is coming home to them. With step by step instructions on how to complete the self-portrait, this is definitely a “do-able” holiday gift.
Whenever you choose to complete Directed Drawing Self-Portrait frame, we are confident that your students will love the results and it will become a spot in your classroom to really focus on all the growth that your students will make. These work for art, projects or anything students have been working hard on!
