Fourth Grade Self-Portraits

This month, fourth grade students worked on creating self-portraits. They focused on drawing realistic features, creating patterns for their clothing and hair, showing symmetry or asymmetry, and creating visual texture for the background. These came out fabulous and look just like the students! Great job 4th graders, you showed perseverance and dedication when working on this project!
