Find beauty in people's faces and their features! This colorful, textured portrait celebrates human diversity.
1.
Look at the intriguing faces around you--in your classroom and community, at a shopping center or restaurant, in photographs of groups of people. Notice that people may look very different from you, but are also very much like you in many ways. How wonderful that each person is unique! Find several hair textures and colors, skin colors, shapes of noses and eyes, and other variations in facial features that you can show in a group portrait.
2.
Use Crayola® Washable Markers to outline several distinctive human faces on thick posterboard, canvas, or plywood.
3.
Cover your craft area with newspaper. In a bowl, mix sawdust or finely shredded newspaper with Crayola School Glue. Make the mixture rather thick, so it will stay in place on your painting.
4.
Use a stiff brush to trace over the outline with the glue mixture. Use extra amounts for textural areas such as hair and clothing. Add facial features (eyes, nose, and mouth) with a small amount of the glue mixture. Use plain glue if you prefer a smoother face. Air-dry flat overnight.
5.
Use Crayola Washable Paints, including Multicultural Colors, to paint your portraits. Mix colors to show the variety of people you know. Give them cheerful, colorful clothing and accessories. Air-dry the paint before displaying.
