]]><![CDATA[Drawing Portraits for Kids]]>Sun, 16 Aug 2020 14:00:00 GMThttp://www.jeanettebradley.com/news/drawing-portraits-for-kidsI have two videos to share with you about drawing portraits! Both of these tie in with the portraits I drew of the young activists in NO VOICE TOO SMALL.  

Watch my mini art class on visual storytelling in portraits, recommended for grades 3-8, This video is seven minutes long, and delves into a little bit of portraits in art history before introducing the #MeetTheArtist meme. I then walk you through how to create your own using my template or on a blank sheet of paper. 
This second video is recommended for grades K-2, and is only three minutes long. Younger kids can watch me draw my own #MeetTheArtist cartoon self portrait, and then make their own! 
Download the printable #MeetTheArtist drawing prompt page!
