/Students were assigned to draw a self-portrait in the face on style of Frida Kahlo.  We talked and read about her contribution to art and also about the concept of Imago Dei which means that everyone is made in the 'Image of God' with unique strengths, talents, and ideas.  Students should fill the background of their self-portraits with symbols of what makes them unique - what they love, how they see themselves, what it important to them.  
 
These will be displayed all year in the classroom and go home on the last day of school for students to keep.  If doing digital art, PLEASE make sure to bring in a printed copy on Friday 9/25 so I can put it up.   
 
Students have been working on this during study hall or when they have finished other work, but the majority of the work needs to be done at home.  I have been watching students work this week - some students have barely started.  This is fine because there is a week left, but I would hate for them to be overwhelmed at the last minute when they have had over 3 weeks to work on this.  
 
Students were given a rubric with express directions and scoring when the assignment was given the 1st week of school.
