art for kids - symmetry + portraits

for my little "art lesson" today we looked at symmetry and our faces:

you'll need:

* one enlarged photo of child's face and cut down the centre.

* colouring pencils.

this really stretched the kids (4-6 yo) but they coped fantasically and did a brillant job I thought.

After they had finished colouring their faces in, we had some extra time so, to make it really personal, i had them draw some of their favourite things around the space by their heads.

(Ty did fish, playing Cowboys & Indians -is that even pc?- and writing books i think! :) )
