President Portraits

Happy President's Day! I hope you all are enjoying our 4 day weekend. Last week, the 2nd graders took part in a fun art project inspired by President's Day...and what better day to share their project with you than ON President's Day!

The 2nd graders Presidents Day project was chalk self portraits with marbled splattered backgrounds. First, the background was made by using marbles to create a paint splatter effect. The student's rolled their marbles in paint and then rolled the paint marbles back and forth on a white paper. Next, the student's were asked to draw self portraits...but not just any plain self portrait... a self portrait that resembled what they would look like if they were a president some day. The portraits were drawn in chalk and then glue to their red, white, and blue splatter background. Lastly, the students were asked to write a sentence or two on what they would do if they were President of our country. The student's had so much fun rolling their marbles in paint and imagining themselves as President's. Great work 2nd Grade!
