Self portraits from the teen class in spring

I just found some photos of student work that I wanted to share.
I suggested to the students to do a self portrait using values (black and white) with a color pop.
One is done on full sheet watercolor paper with subtle green eyes and the other is acrylic on 16x20 canvas.

"Whoo" likes color and patterns? ages 7-9

We traced a wooden owl shape and created patterns in the different areas. The students also did a thumbnail in markers that was just a good as the finished paintings. Painted in acrylic on 11x14 inch canvas board.

Color Blocked Animals, ages 9-12

The students looked at animals and broke them down into simple shapes. Then they used acrylic paint to make colorful faces.
