100 Year Old Portraits - 2nd Grade




What will look like when you're 100 years old? Will you have gray hair and wrinkles? Will you wear a funny hat? What will you do? Will you have grandchildren or GREAT grandchildren?

That is exactly what our Second Grade artists asked themselves for one of our latest projects. After learning the elements of a portrait, the students drew self portraits with a twist - they were 100 years old. They students thought about how their face would change over time and what kind of clothing they would wear. Finally, the student accompanied their artwork with a mini-artist's statement explaining what they will be doing when they are 100 years old!
