Second Grade Portraits 2015

Second graders looked at self-portraits by Andy Warhol, Rembrandt, and Van Gogh. They observed how these artists used their creativity to create a wide variety of styles of self-portraits. To create their self-portraits, the second graders drew on black paper with pencil. Then, they used Elmer's glue over their pencil lines, so that when it dried it created the bold black outlines. The color comes from chalk pastels, which the students mixed and blended to create new, vibrant colors.

The portraits look amazing all together in the hallway. They created a beautiful welcome for all of the grandparents and special guests on Generations Day, and they were also featured at a special Rashi-hosted event for the Boston Jewish Film Festival.
