A painted Self-Portrait on a Canvas
#v13643
Children's personal and spatial intelligence is enhanced by this creative project when creating self-portraits and when mixing colours. When children depict themselves, they increase their self-awareness (self-wise) – and similarly by reproducing their own skin colour. Children's spatial intelligence is enhanced when mixing colours for the actual skin tone, thus learning how different colours interact with each other.
