"Boo" portraits

In 1st grade we learned about emotion in artwork through facial expressions and/or body language.   We created a self-portrait demonstrating how we thought we would look if startled or scared by something.  As a class, we reviewed our use of oil pastels and how to blend to get the exact colors we want.  Each student created their own bald likeness in oil pastels before we added "hair".  To add our scared hair, we used drops of liquid watercolor that we then used a straw to blow upwards to create crazy hair.  We have gotten tons of complements from our BOO portraits hanging in the hallway!
