Lesson Summary
Students create a self-portrait that explains the environmental action they want to take. They begin by thinking about the parts of our environment that are important to them and the actions they can take to help these parts of our environment. Students will then explore why artists create self-portraits, and will plan and create their own self portrait that includes a message about the action they want to take to help our environment. Students will then work together to either create an exhibition or video to share their self-portraits and environmental messages with an audience.
