Alien School Pictures

All my classes are in full Alien/Space/Futuristic mode at this time!  4th grade looked at Mona Lisa, and discussed all the ins & outs of portrait art.  They then created an alien class photograph/school picture.  We used watercolor pencils to color them.  This was a 2 day project.  I'm really thrilled with how some of them turned out!!!  Interesting though...spelling & cleavage must not be important in alien schools?!?!  Take a look and you'll see what I mean!??! :) ha ha To be fair...we were looking at the Mona Lisa for inspiration & she does have some cleavage showing.

  1. I am totally loving up this project! We've just finished portraits for a while, but I'm saving this idea for school picture time next year. I think it's an absolute riot. The formal poses, folded hands etc. TOO COOL!
