A Different Kind of Self-Portrait

I am fortunate enough to work for a school that has an Environmental Science focus. Our school is made from sustainable materials (we even have a bench made with sesame seed hulls!). So we always come back to the Earth and how we can help keep her safe.

One of things I like to do the first month is to make self-portraits using different kinds of media. We painted, we made our faces using snacks. Here we went outside to find things from nature that could be used for hair, eyes, nose, etc.

I was so impressed with their creativity-even a little pinecone bow. :)
