Kindergarten artists made these fun self-portraits after studying the self-portraits of Frida Kahlo, a famous Mexican painter. They traced an oval for the shape of their head, but the rest was done all by themselves. I taught this lesson using what I call my "follow-the-leader" style. It's amazing what young children can accomplish! The colorful backgrounds were inspired by the book "I Ain't Gonna Paint No More!" We painted colorful patterns, just like the boy in the story who painted his leg like an Easter egg.
*This idea was inspired by another art teacher who read this same book to her class and made self-portraits...which I could remember who it was to properly thank her or him...
