This is the 1st time I have tried this project. Every year I go through the proportions of the face and then we make some sort of fun self portrait. Making 2 faces proved to be the trickiest part of this project. I had them draw the 1st one then trace the 2nd one but some had trouble keeping their 2 sheets of paper lined up or seeing the lines from the 1st portrait through the 2nd sheet of paper. If anyone has any suggestions to making this step go smoother please let me know. Once they were both drawn and colored we glued them to a larger piece of white paper. I think next time I might have them cut the heads out and glue them to a colored piece of paper, there's to much white the way they are now. Each student could decide if they which face card they wanted to be (Jack, King, Queen), and what symbol they wanted that face card to be(Spade, Club, Heart or Diamond). The letter in the corner had to be a bubble letter! The last thing they added was their crown. It could be whatever color they wanted as long as both were the same. Next year I think I might try and have some metallic paper for their crowns. If they finished a few minutes early the student could add a little embellishment to their crown and the empty white areas but I was very strict on symmetry!
