I like the project. I worry that we're focussing kids on themselves too much -- self esteem is crossing into narcissism. Stats show that self esteems IS unreasonably high in most cases, but that suicide and relationship failure is very high, too. Could this project be about "modern teenager" or "teen emotion-of-choice" instead of about ME?

Very nice, an extension to another self portrait exercise I saw on edexchange...

Good idea. I also have done various things like this. The self-esteem and self-worth gains are clearly visible, too, when students work on personal expression kind of stuff. We need more of it in the classrooms. Well done.

Thanks for sharing this. I do something similar but anytime someone can do a variation on this idea, I'm happy :)
