1. I walked the students through drawing themselves as Lady Libery. They began with a large “U” that filled the bottom half of the paper. Next came the forehead band, then five spikes above, beginning with the center one. Students completed the face to look as much like themselves as possible.
2. The pencil drawing was traced with a black Sharpie marker.
3. Fireworks were drawn in the background in crayon.
4. A thin turquoise watercolor paint was applied to the entire face.
5. The background was painted with black watercolor for a night sky.
