The first week of 4th grade is under our belt. The 2nd part of the Del Rosario Adventure is well on its way. My part of the home schooling stage is kicked off with an official School Seal.
Their first art project was a multi-medium self portrait, which is an amalgamation of both digital and traditional (pencil, charcoal, and marker mediums) executions. First they took a “selfie” with my phone…yeah, that was fun. Then I printed each their picture. They then took the back of the print out and covered the back with black, using a charcoal stick. Then, they put a bigger piece of paper under the print out, traced their picture to transfer their image on the blank piece of paper.
After that, Brandon & Sophia went over the transferred lines with black markers, they also added details to the illustrations based on what they see on their selfies printouts. The last step was to add designs behind their images. Dea & I wanted them to recognize who they are in the inside, their personalities, their strengths, and what they bring to the table. So they made a list and then designed it behind their self portraits.
I have to admit, as their art teacher, my love for teaching and the arts have elevated to a new level. In the 12 years of teaching, Brandon & Sophia are the most important students I will ever have.
I am at awe in their abilities.
