Self Portraits - Torn Paper Style


Self portraits are one of my favorite things to do with my students.  In 2nd grade we created these with only torn paper pieces (a great way to get rid of paper scraps I have color coded in boxes).  The shirt is done with "treasure paper" my word for very special paper that is in a different box.  It includes foil, holographic, oragami, and tons of paper samples I have from a paper company a students father owned years ago.  The border is done in cut paper patterns so this is a nice way to see how fine motor skills are working with your little ones.
