We're finally finishing up with our staff portraits, the last project in my 4th grade portrait unit.. (You can see our practice staff portraits here. Our first project in the unit, pop art portraits, can be seen here.) I must say, I'm pretty happy with the results! Most of the students captured a pretty decent likeness of their chosen staff member. The one thing I'm not too happy about is their lack of value. Our next unit will be a pointillism unit so I can teach the students about painting with value (I LOVE pointillism, by the way!)
