Kindergarten Self-Portrait
Medium: Oil Pastel on Tinted Paper
At their own easels, our Kindergarten artists took on a timeless challenge—drawing themselves from observation. Equipped with mirrors and a sense of curiosity, each student studied their reflection and began to capture what they saw through line, shape, and expression.
The goal of this lesson was to explore the relationships between facial features—the curve of a cheek, the distance between eyes, the shape of a nose—and to notice how these unique elements come together to form them. More importantly, students were encouraged to express themselves freely, embracing bold, untamed mark-making that reflected their individuality.
The resulting self-portraits are vibrant and full of character. Every line and color choice reveals not only what the students observed but also how they see themselves. These expressive works celebrate confidence, self-awareness, and the joy of creating art that is as original as each young artist.
