Self portraits

Most children love to paint and draw and they begin to draw themselves and each other from an early age. By putting out mirrors, photos and using transparent painting frames, the children become more aware of form, position and composition in a natural way, exploring for themselves what people look like and how to get particular effects. It never ceases to amaze me what beautiful portraits and pictures our children are able to produce when given time, space and resources to have a go without any pressure of having to achieve.
