Revealing my feelings through Art

A few weeks ago I created a self portrait. I started by drawing the head and Mrs Agnew, my teacher said I had to draw lines to get the perfect face for my self portrait.

I added in my eyes, mouth, eyebrows and nose, so they were in proportion. I coloured my face with peach and a little bit of brown. I drew my neck and my shoulders added clothes to my self portrait.

Eventually it was time to draw my hair and I coloured it black. Finally it looked like a real person and I was happy. Finally we had to make a background for the portraits. We used a white wax crayon to make lines to show different feelings we have. I drew lines for when I feel sad, angry and shy. After that we painted over the wax with blue dye.

I wrote a blurb describing my actions with feelings and this is one I would like to share: "when I feel surprised, I put my hands on my cheeks and open my jaw."
