During the 1500s, there was a style of art called Mannerism. One of the artists at this time, Giuseppe Arcimboldo, invented a type of portrait that consisted of painted animals, flowers, fruit, and objects composed to form a human likeness.
After learning about Arcimboldo's portraits, seventh graders looked in a mirror and drew a simple outline of their head, face, neck and shoulders. After filling in the outline with fruits, vegetables, flowers, and plants, they traced over the pencil lines with permanent black marker. They used watercolor pencils to add color and filled in any white space with black marker. Finally, they cut out their organic self portraits and glued them to black construction paper.
