Generic:In this unit children make a self-portrait to communicate ideas about themselves. They talk about images of children in drawings, paintings and photographs and artists' self-portraits in order to develop ideas about how they will portray themselves. They investigate a range of drawing materials and techniques and learn how to mix and use colour in a painting.
