Guest blogger Alex on his Self Portrait in Winter:

I made myself in winter. It was fun and it took a couple of weeks to finish it.

The first thing we did was make the face and ears and we tried to find a color which matched our skin. Then we drew our winter hats. Then we made our scarf. I picked red and black. Then we made our winter coats and I picked orange. Then we used oil pastels which were white and pressed hard on the open spaces to make the snowflakes. Then we painted around them and I picked blue and purple. Then we made the mouth, nose, and mouth and eyebrows and eyes. Then were drew pick circles to make our cheeks look cold.
