Art
- The student learned about self-expression by creating a portrait that reflects their characteristics and personality.
- They practiced fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination by using materials such as crayons, markers, or colored pencils to draw and color their portrait.
- Understanding colors and shapes was enhanced through the process of creating their own facial features and choosing appropriate colors for their portrait.
For continued development, encourage the student to explore different art materials such as modeling clay or collage materials to create a three-dimensional self-portrait. This will foster creativity and spatial awareness.
