Over the past few weeks the
kids have been working on an autobiographical silhouette. I traced the children’s profiles onto a large
piece of paper and had them brainstorm on a sheet of paper what they would like
to include on their silhouette. I
explained how they could use words and drawings to fill their self-portraits
with what they like and qualities that define themselves. I gave them some guiding questions to get
them thinking of what they could include like favorite animals, food, subjects
in school, and what they want to be in the future. The kids particularly enjoyed getting their
silhouettes traced and seeing their own as well as each other’s profile. When the kids finished their silhouettes, I
had them each come up and share their artwork with the class and tell why they
filled their silhouettes with certain words and drawings.
Take a look at their fun and creative
silhouettes…
