Portraits and Porportion
This lesson is one I do with 3rd grade. We learn all about portraits vs. self-portraits. We have a class disscussion about why artists create self-portraits and how it is a reflection of their inner slef. We study somewhat famous self-portraits and reflect on what we learn about the artist from each one. They I teach about porportion and how if affects our portraits. Now it's time to create. The students sketch out thier individual self-portraits, adding features and details like jewelry, hats and we design our shirts for the picture. Next, we create a border so that the focus of the picture is on the portrait. Lastly we add 3-5 objects in the background that tell something about ourselves, and of course we color it with markers. I was very impressed with how unique each of the portraits were.
