3rd Grade Costumed Portraits

Since the 3rd graders are studying New England farm and family life of 1800s and reading Farmer Boy, we looked at some common outfits that folks would have worn.  Students drew portraits of each other's faces, then drew the rest of their sitters' in 1800s costumes of mutual agreement, and painted them using watercolors.  Some are dressed for a trip to town, others, for working on their farms.  Here they are in progress; look out for these gracing our hallways soon!
