Grade 1-2-3 students have been learning how to draw self-portraits of our faces and our bodies. First we practiced on our whiteboards, then we entered some of our portraits in the Young Archies competition for students in Department of Education Tasmanian schools in the Kinder-Grade 2 & Grade 3-4 sections.

Riley Cross, grade 3

Title: Me

I really like my earrings in my art work. I have ones like these I wear.

I used water colour paints and Sharpie texta.

Ella Watts, grade 2

Title: Self-portrait of me

I am imagining I’m at SeaWorld. I’m about to see all the animals. My background is watery. I like the way I drew my nose and eyebrows.

Emmett Palmer, grade 1

Title: Me

This is me. I’m wearing a singlet top with flowers and stars. It is a hot day. I’m wearing shorts. I used water colour paints and Sharpie texta.

Aleighna Coles, grade 2

Title: Me outside

I am wearing clothes from my imagination. I like to pick flowers to give to my Mum when I’m outside. I am winking.

Shakshi Sapkota, grade 2

Title: Me

I am wearing a top with hearts, flowers and stars. I used water colour paints and Sharpie texta.

Fred Wood, grade 3

Title: The boy who likes to code

I drew a Minecraft t-shirt because I like playing it.

Occy Jacobson, grade 3

Title: Playing in the rain

I like getting my hair wet because it goes a lot spiky in the rain. I like the lightning bolts on my top.

Melody Barker, grade 2

Title: This is me

I like to swim at the pool. I like to wear piggy tails because they are cute. I would like to have a jumper like this because I like the red colour and the little heart.

Lachlan Jones, grade 3

Title: This is me

This is me enjoying
