The
first pictures toddlers draw are generally of heads-their own
heads, their families' heads. As the toddlers get older the
heads become more detailed and acquire a body and arms and legs.
With this in mind, what better place for the Art Studio to begin
than with the portrait? In th eportrait studio a child had man
options. They could make a portrait from clay using a professional
sculptor's armature, paint a self-portrait or trace a portrait
of a friend on plexi-glass, or trace their faces on a huge mirror.
A large soft sculpture head with removable and interchangeable
parts allows kids to create a "funny head" while learning about
the proportions of the adult head andto the body and their own.
