http://www.pivenworld.com/hanoch-piven-illustrations/world-leaders/4 She will lead a discussion of those that the students recognize and WHY the artist chose to use certain materials to create the portraits. They will also discuss various facial features (eyes, hair, mouth, nose) and how those might be portrayed (open/closed mouth, hair, etc)
Teacher will then give students a variety of materials to create their own self-portraits. Students will glue materials on foam/particle board to create self-portraits.
