4: Abstract Self-Portraits

4th Grade students recognized the difference between abstract and realism.  They had a hard time deciding which was which!  After discussing portraits, the students were instructed to design a self-portrait by replacing facial features with different types of food. (healthy, non-healthy) They were challenged to make every part of their body with a food type (even their head!) I had three different 4th grade sections, and I wasn't sure which would turn out best, so each section did either oil pastel, watercolor/crayon, or colored-pencils
