How-To Art-Making Steps

- Turn the drawings into pop-up portraits, using cardboard and tempera paints. Re-draw the sketches on large pieces of cardboard.
- Paint the portrait with colorful temperas.
- After the paint dries, cut out the portrait.
- Cut a large triangle from another piece of cardboard. Your child will turn this into a base to make the portrait stand, or pop, up.
