….these faces weren’t done by me but I did teach my grade 2s how to paint them
Today I covered a grade two class that should have had music but the music teacher was at the Kiwanis festival with two other classes and the class I should have had was one of the two classes at the competition. When the grade 2s came into the library I decided to turn the period into an art class. I thought that they could probably handle making faces using watercolour paints.
I demonstrated how to add the skin tones and face shape first and once that was dry we added the hair. I recommended that the facial features be done with marker. Some followed the instructions and others didn’t but most of them had a lot of fun and their faces were pretty good. Here is a gallery of faces for you to enjoy:

That’s a great gallery of faces – 2nd graders are so much fun!

They have no fear at this age and are free to paint whatever their imaginations come up with. Thanks for taking time to comment.

Do you suppose their mothers and fathers look similar?

Hi Dorothy. Sorry for taking so long to reply. I hope their parents don’t look similar. I’ve met most of them and I can honestly say that none of them have purple hair, goatees or huge ears.

A cartoon used to do the rounds here many years ago. A child proudly shows drawing of mummy complete with spiky hair, banana mouth, gigantic hands with stick fingers etc to a sceptical teacher. Next frame shows mummy picking up child. Mummy looks exactly like drawing.
See you’ve been busy replying to fellow bloggers today. I’ve been busy this week and the blog emails have built up to the stage that there’s no way I can reply even to a fraction of them. Have about 400. Will make an effort this afternoon, but also have a deadline for an article. Where do the hours and days vanish to!

I know the feeling. Mine got to over 100 and I just had to finally delete some of them. I can always go back and check them out later.
