The lesson plan is for a 5th grade art class where students will create self-portraits. The teacher will give step-by-step instructions on drawing proportions of the face correctly. Students will then create a self-portrait using chalk while focusing on expression. Finally, they will design a border around the portrait using lines, shapes, and colors to complete their art folder.
