Self-Portrait in the style of Picasso

What I did:  I went to the site Picassohead and learned to use the graphics to make a self-portrait.
It doesn't look too much like me, but there is resemblance. At least I captured my messy hair, LOL! I'm pleased with the finished product. Click on the link if you want to try your hand at creating a self-portrait in the style of Picasso.

What I Learned: I learned to use the graphics.  It was interesting and fun, and didn't take very long.  This was easy to create, but tricky to blog. Per Professor Pierce's suggestion, I saved it to my desktop. It didn't work to save it in doc's, so I saved it again in Picasa3. From Picasa I clicked on the blog option at the bottom of the page. Hope this helps someone else who is having trouble publishing their portrait.

NETS-T:  This activity corresponds to:
 -Standard 3-b, which states that teachers "collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation."  The student would have to use innovative thinking to design a self-portrait that bears a reasonable resemblance.
-Standard 1a, which states that teachers are to "promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness."  Students would think this activity is "cool".  It encourages introspection and creativity.

How I Can Use It: This could be used in a number of ways to supplement student writing.  The graphic could be made before or after the written composition, as an illustration or a springboard.  One writing assignment could be autobiographical in nature.  Then the Picassohead could be used to illustrate the finished written product.
