Self portrait Collage


Self Portrait Collage month
My students learned how to draw the human face and colored it with colored pencil. They then made thier hair out of magazines and a shirt out of magazines.  Then they painted a canvas and mod podged it all together.  
Making hair out of a magazine!

Here are some of the finished projects.  A lot were still wet with Modge Podge at the time of picture taking, I will have to show you the rest later.

Personal Painting
I thought I would share a few pictures I have made myself and for some friends.  I realize I hardly ever share my own work on here!  

 Watercolor of my dog Jasmine.  May 2014

Acrylic paint, Cut out for a local church Harvest Carnival, October 2014

My husband did all the woodwork, He is wonderful and I just painted the picture.

This sweet friend, I made this for her birthday.  I forgot to take a picture of it before I gave it to her, so her beautiful face is just going to have to be in the picture!  =)

Watercolor, May 2012
Sorry for the glare of the glass.  This is my nieces print that I gave her, this particular picture is hanging on her wall.  There were actually lots of prints made of this picture and sold.   So, this is not the original, but I had a lot of fun doing this picture and there is a lot of meaning behind it.  The verse to go with this is: Be Still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him.  Psalm 37:7.  It means that same feeling of being on your daddy's feet while dancing.   You are still moving, you're not laying on the couch doing nothing. It's just that our heavenly father is moving us and we are so incredibly happy in our daddy leading the way.  Our face is happy, our soul and body is relaxed because we trust him.  What an amazing visual to have.

I made this for my sweet friend Amber.
