1. Sugar skull selfies

2. OBJECTIVE
Students will create a Sugar Skull Selfie by choosing certain shapes from each category in the packet until Selfie is complete. Students may also add hair, eyebrows, or any other defining facial feature (freckles, glasses, lips, etc.).

3. ***If students are in more than one art class, for their second Sugar Skull Selfie, they can create a pet, family member, or just get creative!***

4. Monday - Sketch
Students will use the Sugar Skull Shapes packet to create a rough sketch. They will pick one of the choices given for each category to construct their selfie. This may be completed on a sheet of notebook paper.
MUST remember that sugar skulls are symmetrical. This means shapes AND colors are symmetrical!!!! Color with colored pencils.
Turn into green box in Sketch folder!

5. Tuesday - Begin Real Selfie
Students will enlarge their sketch to fill up a 9”x12”piece of white drawing paper. They may change any designs from their sketch, as long as they keep it symmetrical!
They will also be expected to add any additional features, such as eyebrows, hair, beards, hats, accessories, etc.

6. Wednesday – Continue.

They will then use colored pencils to add bright colors to their Selfies.
*Make sure colored pencil is OPAQUE, meaning that each color is dark and neat.
