I was an elementary art teacher for too many years. Now I am an artist and have started my REAL LIFE! I did this one lesson quite often that the kids loved.
You know how you do the watercolor or ink straw blowing where you get these long thin wavy lines of color all over the place? Well, I would tell the children to draw a person’s head very large with no body, with crayon. (Just like a portrait from the front or side). Then they would drop some paint or ink along the edges of the head and blow it in all directions. I called it: “A Bad Hair Day!” The artwork was amazing!!!!!

Hi- Just came across this today! You might like our printed portraits- we used foam plates for an easy way to print the features. (Ages 6-11, after school art program, so your results with older students could be wonderful!)
