Silhouettes are… An dark shape outline of someone or something against a lighter background.
Notice how each child looks different based on the shape of the head, nose, and hair.
Silhouettes can be made using other materials besides paper.
We will be adding things we like to make it a self-portrait…
PROJECT STEPS: • With a partner, trace the outline of your head using pencil on a white sheet of paper. Pay attention to details. • Copy over the pencil lines with Sharpie. • Inside of the silhouette, draw things you like with pencil. Then trace over then with Sharpie. • Watercolor all the things inside your silhouette. This includes the background! • Cut out your silhouette self-portrait and paste it to a colored piece of paper. • Sign and date your artwork!
