Sharpie Self-Portraits with Loose Part Poppies

I love this Remembrance Day art project. It allows for so much individuality, which is the perfect representation of what a world full of peace (actually!) looks like <3

WHAT YOU NEED:

• red and black loose parts

• colour printer

• white cardstock

• black Sharpies

• scissors

• glue

• foam or cardboard pieces

HOW TO MAKE:

1. Start by having each artist make their own, unique, loose part poppy. Photograph the poppy, print it in colour (make sure you consider the sizing first!), and cut it out! I used a free background remover so that only the poppies were printed :)

   

2. Invite artists to draw their self-portrait, using a black Sharpie marker. Cut it out.

3. We wanted our poppies to "pop!", so we glued them first onto a foam piece and then onto the self-portrait. A small piece of cardboard would also work - elevating the poppy ever so slightly :)

Sending wishes for a world where everyone can be themselves,

Love,
