These colorful portraits were created by Nelson's third grade artists who spent several weeks learning how to draw faces using correct proportions as well as learning about warm and cool colors. The backgrounds were created by collaging tissue paper and construction paper in layers. The faces were drawn on a separate paper, painted with watercolors, and then cut out and glued onto the backgrounds. Our artists had to be careful to use the opposite color family (warm or cool) for their backgrounds and portraits. They did a great job!
