Description
Make Self-Portraits Easier (and More Meaningful) Than Ever
You want students to create portraits that feel authentic — not “cookie-cutter.”
But teaching facial features can turn into a time-sucking spiral: prepping examples, modeling one way to draw, and watching kids get stuck thinking they “can’t do it.”
A Confidence-Boosting Portrait Lesson Inspired by MLK
This open-and-go digital art project helps students draw their own faces using simple guides—plus a huge variety of feature examples so every artist has real choices. It’s supportive without being restrictive, and it makes portrait day feel inspiring instead of stressful.
Why Students Love It
Instead of copying a single “teacher example,” they can choose from about a dozen options for each feature—eyes, noses, mouths, and hair—so their portraits look unique (and they feel proud).
