Self-Portraits with Paul Klee color blocks

Two fifth grade classes looked at few of Paul Klee's paintings done with block colors and a self-portrait. We talked about the paintings a bit and how Klee used color to express himself, his emotions and ideas. We also examined this project as illustrated on the following two web sites:

Self-portrait lesson:
I drew a large face divided into halves and fourths, talked about how each eye is 1/5 of the width of your face, the nose is 1/5 wide, sides of mouth end below pupils, ears are same length as between eyes and bottom of nose, etc.
Similar, but more realistic, to this link:

How to:
Then I showed them how to draw a face with the correct proportions and let them use their small whiteboards and erasable markers to practice face shape, features and proportions, while I drew on the large whiteboard.  Then we moved to watercolor paper and pencils and mirrors, to sketch themselves with simple lines.  Students traced their pencil lines with a black Sharpie, then choose 12 pre-cut tissue paper squares to place in a grid on their drawing.  The teachers and I misted the artwork with water from spray bottles.  Students used paintbrushes to smooth the paper down and spread the water evenly.  They could remove the tissue paper within a couple minutes, or leave the tissue paper to dry, at which point it falls off or is easily loosened.  Done!  I purchased Spectra tissue paper that is supposed to allow the colors to "bleed" in a watercolor effect, and cut the squares with a sliding paper cutter.

Materials:  watercolor paper, pencils, mirrors, Sharpies, tissue paper that "bleeds."
Time:  1+ hour, but could be adjusted depending on time available.  Could do less instruction time on Paul Klee and/or on how to draw a face.
