Digital Portraits 

I studied the portraits of Frida Kahlo with a Year 4 class.  We discussed her life and how she used symbolism in her painting to express her emotions and her passions.

I challenged the children to do the same; to create a portrait of themselves which reflected who they are and what they love.

They downloaded photos of themselves into Paint software and got to work! Paint is a simplified version of Photoshop which is very easily accessible to children.
