Self Portraits! --The proteges (our name for the children who are being mentored) can paint their own self portraits. We put a digital photo of them into Photoshop, click on Filter>Artistic>Cutout and print a color copy of the result. Then, using the already filtered copy that we just printed, we click on Filter again, then Stylize>Find Edges and project the image of those lines via LCD projector onto the board where the painting will be made. The protege traces the lines in pencil, then sits down with a few paints and, essentially, paints by numbers, filling the traced outline shapes with solid colors of various shades.
