Self Portrait Directed Drawing Art Project

Transform your students into serious artists with these easy to follow self-portrait directed drawing activities. This resource includes step-by-step slides with visuals to walk your students through drawing realistic self portraits.

Students will follow the step-by-step instructions to draw a self portrait outline and add facial features (eyes, eyebrows, mouth, and nose). This resource includes a differentiated option for first and second grade students with easier steps, as well as a differentiated option for third and fourth grade students that has more advanced drawing steps. Students will complete the steps for drawing their face, add hair, and color to create a beautiful self-portrait.

Want to give your students more choice in how they draw their facial features? This resource also includes option pages with different types of eyes, noses, and mouths ranging in difficulty level to allow for student choice.

You can choose from a variety of printable templates for student self-portraits, extra options for student writing, and drawing practice pages. (See preview).

Please note: Some slides or pages in document will repeat among the differentiated options for ease of presenting the drawing steps. This resource includes a PPT (for presenting) and PDF (for easy printing).
