7th Grade Lego Self-Portrait

This is such a fun project that I enjoy doing with my students. Not only is this a fun project but this is a great way to begin looking at the basic shapes of the body. I begin by discussing the different shapes of the body and then showing the drawing figure that I have. Then we begin discussing and walking through how to draw this person. Unfortunately, this year I had to have a sub teach the lesson but it seems that my students did an awesome job anyways.

Purpose of the project:
 - To teach students that shapes can be used in the creation of a person or object.
 - As a reflective tool for students to observe their personality qualities and how                                       they are perceived.

Students were graded on the following criteria:
 - The student has used basic shapes to draw a lego like person
 - They have included personal attribute on their person (like glasses, favorite sweater, etc) and have       colored the person.
