Easy printmaking :)

This lesson on self portraits is a really easy way to introduce drawing from life (students will observe themselves in mirror and draw what they see) as well as study facial proportions. This is a really fun and easy printmaking assignment and can be adapted to fit any lower or upper elementary classroom.
Materials:
Paper (the more dense the better)
Pencil
Tracing paper
Printing foam (Basically the same foam trays that you can get from a butcher or take out boxes)
