Andy Warhol-esque self portraits.

Earlier this year, I lead some of my clients at the day program through this art activity. I photographed them, then traced their images with permanent marker so that I just had the outlines of all of their features. Then I photocopied it, and voila! Self-portrait coloring sheets! My clients each colored 4+ copies in all different colors, then we placed them on poster sheets in the arrangement of Andy Warhol's "Marilyn". We then sealed everything with mod podge. The results were fantastic! My clients loved it, and it was so neat to see how differently all of them color!





So, I decided to try this activity with the kids with autism that I work with. Again, great results!
