First we looked at some portraits by Picasso and Arcimboldo to get some inspiration and realized that portraits don't need to be an exact representation of real world.
All you need is:
- some old magazines
- pastel crayons/paints/wax crayons (use your favorites)
- paper and glue
This simple activity is great to practice fine motor skills (cutting and sticking) and arouse kids interest in famous painters work. Next day Mr Frog asked me to show him some more famous painters - it looks like more magazines' photos are going to be turn into portraits soon ;)
