Self Portrait Mind Map and Photos
The first major project of the year will be a self portrait watercolor painting. In order for students to get an idea of how they would like to be depicted they must first complete a Self Reflecting Mind Map. The map will include their name in the middle with 5 different categories branching out: How students view themselves, how they believe others view them, their ideal self, how they are currently feeling, and what their favorite music genre is. Each category must have at least 10 descriptive words, 5 sentences or drawings.
