Reflection:
When I did this activity, I found it very important because I never realized how detailed it could be to try to project myself in a drawing. I loved it because I think that sometimes we are so busy that we don't realize how much our face and body change over the years. I will do this activity with the children, but I will modify it a little. I plan to put a large piece of white paper on the floor, have the children lie down, and I will draw them. Once they are drawn, I will tape the paper to the wall so they can look in a mirror and try to capture all the features of their face as well as their body.
