Here it is! Our version of the Where I’m From poem by George Ella Lyon. We did the poem and then studied proportion in art. Our self portraits are the result of our study of facial proportions. Enjoy!

Our First Voice Thread

Check it out! We wrote poems called, “Where I’m From”, that are autobiographical and follow a specific “I am from…” format. Then, we drew our self portraits, focusing on where our eyes, ears, noses, and mouths are really located on our heads (did you know the corners of your eyes line up with the top of your ears? We all thought our eyes were further up our heads than they really are). Enjoy our very unique poems and self portraits.
