Micrography Portraits

Mr. Toth's 7th grade class learned about micrography. Micrography is creating images with text. It began to work around the 2nd commandments restriction of images and then expanded into an art form. Here is an early version of micrography

After tracing their portraits from the projector onto the whiteboard students began to fill their portraits with positive text about themselves. Students faces are filled with things they like about themselves, books they've read and their friends. Students then chose their favorite characteristics about themselves and wrote those words in the background of their portraits.

I am so proud of these gorgeous and meaningful portraits! Click on a portrait to zoom in and see the text students chose!
