As a part of our positive psychology program, we have been learning about the VIA character strengths. Students learned about the different strengths and then undertook a quiz to determine their own top strengths. They then created these artworks.
Lesson Materials (per student):
1 sheet A4 white art paper
oil pastels
watercolours
a black sharpie
Lesson Steps:
1. Students followed a directed-draw of a face, being given opportunities to make their face their own (e,g, demonstrating how to do thinner/thicker lips, narrower/wider eyes etc).
2. Students coloured in their drawings with oil pastel.
3. Students were shown how to break their background up into a "stained glass window effect" by using straight lines to create sections with a lead pencil, and then tracing over them with a sharpie.
4. Students painted each section.
5. When dry, students wrote their top strengths in each section of the background.
