School Wide Self Portraits

This year, each student is drawing their self portrait on the first day they come to art. Pretty soon the hallways will be full of the self portraits made by all of the Irving students!

The classes looked at and discussed self portraits made by several different artists. We talked about things that are the same about all of the portraits and things that are different. The students all noticed that each artist has their own style that is evident in their self portrait.

Here are some of the images we looked at:

Frida Kahlo


Vincent van Gogh


Jean Michel Basquiat


Pablo Picasso



Chuck Close
