Tissue Paper Self Portraits

Tam Milledge·Teaching·1 minute read
Colorful tissue paper self-portrait craft displayed on classroom walls, ideal for beginning-of-year art activities and student creativity.

This is one of my favourite beginning of the year art activities- get kids to draw a self portrait, which you (or the kids) can then trace over with black marker.

The kids then tear up pieces of tissue paper and glue onto paper to create a collage background. It would be great to do this again at the end of the year and see the difference!
