Nasco Quilling Self-Portraits Classroom Kit
Grades 9–12 Introduce students to the intricate art of folding paper to create quills to be used like brush strokes to paint
a self-portrait. This kit includes a lesson plan and enough supplies for a class of 24 students to draw an enlarged self-portrait using a grid and demonstrate skills using a precision knife to cut paper strips for quilling.
Throughout the lesson, students will fold and roll the paper strips they cut to create tight quills. With their quills, they can create tints, tones, and shades by folding the paper and creating blended colors. After this process, they can start creating their self-portraits by gluing paper on its end to follow the planar structure of their drawn facial features.
After completing this lesson, students will be able to say:
- I can use a grid to draw.
- I can use materials safely.
- I can understand blending colors to create tints and shades.
