Glue and Pastel Self-Portrait


Third grade students made these gorgeous self-portraits using pencil, glue, and pastels. Upon listening to the book Two Eyes, A Nose, and a Mouth by, Roberta Intrater, they made a list of key features to include in their portrait. They drew their faces with pencil and then outlined the drawing in glue. Once dried, the glue made a raised boarder to help make definition for the face. Students then colored in their pictures with pastels and dabbled with blending techniques.




Here's a peek at the pastel process.  Very stunning and realistic results from this crew :)




Come back soon to see the finished results!
