Portrait of a Beloved Older Brother

How does a second grader tell her brother how much she loves and admires him?  She draws him a portrait of himself. It is quite a bit of hard work, but alot of fun as you see the difference that the smallest change can make. Do you notice the guidelines that appear to be on the photograph? They are really lines on a sheet of clear acetate that help the young artist figure out how far the features are from each other. There are very faint lines on the portrait that help this placement. The result is a credible portrait!
