Art Project
- If you feel like being creative, draw a self-portrait (a drawing of yourself) and include illustrations of all of your amazing ideas that are in your brain. This is just one idea for a self-portrait. But I'm sure you have your own ideas for what you want your self-portrait to look like. Have fun and have a grown-up send us a picture of your finished creation, with all of your incredible ideas in it! I'll post it so you can share your art with your friends.
