5th Grade: Silhouette Drawing

To try and learn/remind myself more about who my students are, the fifth graders started the year off with this silhouette project. The students first learned what a silhouette is.

The students create a black and white border, a silhouette drawing of themselves using a photograph, and filled it in with drawings to describe themselves. Drawing a silhouette outline of a face is not easy, but you can see that some of the students really captured their profile.
