K-3 Self Portraits with iPads

Students had the opportunity to create self portraits using iPads, which proved to be very fun and a bit challenging. We started the project by using the camera feature and turning the camera lens to face ourselves we snapped a few shots. We then used the Doodle Buddy app to create a contour line drawing on top of the photo. using a fine dark drawing line we traced all of the shapes and lines we saw on our faces. After the drawing was done we changed the background to a solid white one and saved it to our albums. We now used the Draw Free app and used our contour line drawing as a background in this newly opened app and then with the crayon tool we colored our drawing like a coloring sheet.
