Our Artist for the month of October was Rembrandt. We read a fun book called, "Rembrandt and the Boy who Drew Dogs" and we learned about Rembrandt's fixation with painting "Self Portraits". The kids enjoyed drawing their own self portrait after we discussed how a portrait has lots of details, and how we could add detail to our pictures (eyes, mouth nose, ears, hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, teeth etc etc.). We also discussed how different shapes could be used to make different parts of the picture (oval for faces, circles for eyes and noses, lines for hair, sqaures for teeth). It was fun to see the results after having this discussion as I could see how hard they each tried to add extra details to their picture!
