What I plan to do is get a simple drawing for the students to trace and colour.

Their task will be to take a picture of themselves in pairs, 'pulling a face', or 'showing an expression, eyes/mouth wide open' etc , they then trace it and colour it. They would get samples of colours from their original photograph.
