What is a Self Portrait?

A portrait is a picture of a person.

A self portrait is a picture of yourself!

This is the second year the Irving students have drawn self portraits on the first day of art. 

Why are we drawing self portraits two years in a row? Because a lot has changed in a year! Not only have the students grown taller or changed their hair style, they have also become better artists.

Check out the students' drawings on ArtSonia.com:

Welcome back to school!

I hope you all had an awesome summer, I know I did. The most exciting thing that happened to me this summer was that I got married! You might have noticed, the title of the blog is now "Mrs. Tague's Art Class," which is my new last name. It'll take some getting used to, so of course I'll still answer to Ms. Linne. 

Another change to art this year will be the addition of Ms. Naples to Irving. Since our school keeps growing and we've now added a fourth 3rd grade section, there is just not enough time in the week for me to teach all of the classes. Ms. Naples teaches art at Lincoln School and will be coming to Irving one day a week to teach two classes in the community room. 

 I'm really excited to start another year teaching art at Irving and can't wait to see all of you!
