What Do Colors Make?

Colors can confuse me.
I get so mixed up sometimes.
Singing this- song will help
Me remember how to mix.
My teacher wants me to learn
And I must know NOW NOW NOW.
'Cause here we go, mixin' up colors.

Colors that you start with
Primary: Red, Blue, Yellow
First there's red, so beautiful
Like a sunburned strawberry.
But then there's blue, a calming color,

1st Grade Portrait pt 1

This is how I would show my first graders to start putting their face together. They would have already had individual lessons on each facial feature & be acquainted with some basic facial anatomy.

To see some examples of how my first graders did on this project, go to

Drawing Lips for 1st Grade

I accidentally took a 3 hour nap earlier and now I cannot sleep . . . Therefore I made this video. As you have probably gathered, I'm working up to doing the whole "First Grade Face." Then I'll skip a couple grade levels to show you how I step up the instruction for different grade levels.

Basic Proportions video

This is a good video. I think I'm going to show this to 4th-6th grade.
