'When I Grow Up I want to...' Self-Portraits from 2011-2012
To inspire excitement for my 4th graders, I came up with the simple idea of asking them to draw what they want to be when they grow up. Some were quite serious about the topic and knew exactly what they wanted to be; a veterinarian, a professional football or baseball player, a baker, a day care provider, an artist, a plumber, an electrician. Others were quite creatively silly with their future endeavors, choosing to be clowns, zombies, ghosts. Still other students were stuck and couldn't come up anything. These students were given the option to simply draw themselves as they look today. All of these choices were approved of. We are VERY flexible in the art room!
