Orca Self-Portraits

The Orca class draws self-portraits several times a year. The children look in mirrors, paying close attention to the details of their face. The portraits are done in black and white, which allows the children to focus on the details and not become distracted by colors. As the children mature and have more practice holding a pen or pencil and gain control over their pincer grasp and their small muscles, the portraits change and develop, too. These are posted in the class along with a photo of the child.
