Self-Portrait

     This is a portrait of myself I made with Picassohead.
Green is my favorite color, which is why my skin and hand are that color. I play four mallet keyboard percussion, which is what the black things in my hand are. I have blue eyes and blond hair. I didn't have really any issues with this project, except what I wanted the picture to look like. Here's a link to my portrait on the site itself.

    This is a great way for students to express themselves using the tools on the website. They can create a self portrait of themselves doing whatever they want, like I am doing here holding mallets. Some students might want more artistic parts added to the portrait because that's what they feel like, others might not. A good music lesson can be taught, using Picasso's cubism art, because of the music that came out of this time having many of the same ideas of this artist's ideas.

     This activity follows well with standard 2a. "Design or adapt relevant learning experiences that
incorporate digital tools and resources to promote
student learning and creativity" because it allows students to be creative and learn about how to work with this program and add their pictures to a gallery.
