Symbolic Self-Portraits
Symbolic Self-Portraits
Artist Focus: Kara Walker
Vocabulary: Silhouette
Medium: Collage
Special Education Art Lesson - Middle School-Age Students
Materials: magazines, glue, scissors, silhouette cutouts, black construction paper
*Note* Some of our students were able to trace silhouettes by using a flashlight and partnering up against the wall, then tracing their partners shadow with a pencil. This was difficult in many classes, so I drew many of them or had them trace on the table. Either way, you could create a male and female or various templates for your students to trace. See what works!
