Reverse Acetate Self-Portraits

3/21/2025

For the 7th-grade painting project, students explored color and texture in a bold and expressive way. Each student began by drawing their own self-portrait onto acetate. They then applied acrylic paint to the reverse side, working in layers to build depth and vibrancy. Once the painting was complete, students created textured paste paper, using various tools and techniques to add visual interest and contrast to their work. Finally, they added finishing touches with Posca markers, enhancing details and bringing their self-portrait to life.
