"The Color of Us"

At Edwin Pratt Early Learning Center, Teacher Mitra read the book "The Colors of Us" to the class. Children then created self portraits, using mirrors to guide their work.

The final project included a classroom portrait wall of student artwork to display, recognize, and celebrate "All the Colors We Are."
