Thanks to some of our classmates I got the opportunity to create this self portrait using pastels. I love using pastels so I really enjoyed this activity. Such a wonderful idea to do with a class of students. First I would show some examples of other types of self portraits and lay out specific instructions and criteria (pay attention, clean up after, etc). I would probably seat students in two's so sharing pastels would go over better. I loved the use of the document camera to create the drawing with the students. I would tell students that they need to first watch me create the drawing and then I would allow them to begin to avoid any distruprtions while I am explaining.
