Costumed Pet Portrats, age 10-12

This is always a favorite project. We talked about old time portraits and the clothing from some of the painted portraits we saw. The students chose a costume and pet/animal and used acrylic paint on canvas panel. Fun, fun, fun!

Castles and Costumes, ages 7-10

We looked at books and talked about the dress, occupations and daily life in medieval times. Then the students traced each other on brown kraft paper (contractor paper) and painted themselves in their costume of choice. A fun project for the end of the year.
