Self Portrait

The self portrait assignment on Picasso was quite entertaining.  I didn't really have any issues getting it to work or creating the portrait.  I found the directions very user-friendly.  Each facial feature had it's own category for the most part and it was easy to delete, move, rotate, etc.

I played with the tool quite a while before saying enough and saving this image. It doesn't look a think like me :)

I think students would have a ball doing this in class.  It is a perfect exercise for learning descriptive words.  One option would be for the teacher to provide the description and have the students create the portrait.  Another option might be for the students to create a portrait and then write a story about the character.
