Create a respectful portrait of one of your teachers using one creative option (different medium, famous-artist inspiration, or real-life school scene). Then answer the reflection questions and submit your artwork as directed.
Today you’ll create a portrait of one of your teachers to help decorate our door/hallway and/or to include in a class memory book.
Expectations (for every portrait):
Keep it respectful and school-appropriate.
Try to include at least one detail that shows appreciation (a kind message, a symbol of leadership, school spirit, etc.).
Different mediums: Try a medium such as sketching, painting, collage, digital art, mixed media, etc.
Imitate a famous artist: Choose an artist you know (or research one with teacher approval) and create the portrait inspired by that artist’s style.
Real-life scene: Show the teacher doing a daily school activity (greeting students, morning routines, teaching a lesson, etc.).
Follow your teacher’s directions to turn in your artwork (for example: submit the original in class, or upload a clear photo of your finished piece).
Which TWO details are most important to include in your artist statement?
Artist Statement (4–6 sentences): Explain which creative option you chose (medium, famous-artist inspiration, or real-life scene) and how your portrait shows appreciation for the teacher.
Which expectation applies to every Teacher Appreciation Week portrait?
My portrait will show the teacher in a respectful way.
Write a title for your portrait (3 words or fewer).
Please upload a photo or video of your completed portrait.
