Creating Lego mini me’s

Edgewood Elementary School fourth-graders are learning about themselves through Lego self-portraits. 

Art teacher Celia Castle likes to start off the school year with the students drawing a self-portrait of themselves, but she wanted to be more creative than just asking the students to do a normal portrait. Since Legos are popular and trendy, she had the students decorate three different Lego figures as themselves and portray the super hero trait that they have. 

The students discussed their figures with Castle, and together they pick the one that represents them the best. While decorating their Lego selves, the students learned about themselves and their classmates.
