A self-portrait is an intimate bold declaration of identity. In her self-portrait, a child offers herself as both subject ad artist. When we look at her self-portrait, we see a child as she sees herself. The story of self-portrait work is a tender story to tell.
As we began this self-portrait inquiry, the children were invited to draw their self-portraits with a black market while looking at their photographs and their self-reflection in a mirror. We then reflected on what makes us unique and special using speech bubbles, a literacy concept that we recently learned about.
