I miss you all and would love to see your work! If you have any questions or want to send pictures of what you're creating, you can email me: mallory.neidenthal@nhcs.net
Now that we have created our imganitve homes from last week, we are going to be creating artwork of ourselves to live in our imaganitve homes. We will be creating self-portraits, but with a fun twist! This week you will make yourself as a LEGO character! Watch the video below to learn more about self-portraits and as I demonstrate how to make yourself into a LEGO person!
Words to know:
PORTRAIT - an artwork of a person
SELF-PORTRAIT - an artwork an artist makes of themself
Creating a LEGO Self-Portrait
In this video you will see some portraits and self-portraits created by famous artsits, and look at their similarities and differences. I then demonstrate how we are going to be making self-portraits in the style of LEGOS! You can print off the LEGO figures below or watch as I demonstrate how to draw your own LEGO character! Remember we are make SELF-PORTRAITS, so artwork of ourselves, so be sure to make your LEGO look like YOU!
