E’liane K says, “I am not going to lie when I say that this activity that I gave my 5th Graders to complete was the absolutely most WONDERFUL art activity we did all year. They absolutely LOVED creating their selfies with the masks on. It was very meaningful since we came back to face-to-face learning in August 2020. Masks have just been a major part of our existence at school, so the selfies were perfect! We still get compliments and people stopping to look at the artwork even after several months of them being up in the hallway! They will be a total keepsake when I send them home at the end of the year! Thank you!”
I do hope you have fun with these resources! I had great fun creating them 🙂
