This assignment was by far the most entertaining activity I have completed thus far in EDUC 6305! The self portrait in the style of Pablo Picasso was engaging and fun! Plus, the site was user friendly! What could be better? I told my husband about this assignment; he decided he wanted to create me first. Of course he was goofy to begin with, but then did his best job. After he created me, I critiqued my features slightly. To my surprise, I actually liked his portrait of myself better than my own! Even though they are very similar, he did a better job matching up my features - big blue eyes, dark hair, narrow face, red lips, etc. However, on my self portrait my eyes look overly large and scary. I will post both and let you all decide. I feel like I could get very creative with this now that I have played around. Next time I would add abstracts like the gallery pictures.

I feel like this digital age media could easily be integrated into my classroom. I have seen many fellow teachers have their students create self portraits in art class using paint or other materials. Incorporating the Pablo Picasso website to create a digital self portrait is a great activity to use to allow more technology use! You could also use Picasso Head to incorporate into other subjects such as reading or history.
These activities relate to the ISTE NETS T standard 1: Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity. It relates to this standard because students are able to be creative outside of their normal box by using a digital tool in a virtual environment.
