Leonardo da Vinci was obsessed by faces. He filled sketchbooks with drawings of people with interesting and unusual features. He called these ‘Grotesques.’ We studied Leonardo’s ‘Grotesques’ and also sculptures of grotesques faces created by other artists. Following this we created our own ‘Grotesque.’ First, we drew a face in profile and then used a variety of coloured shapes to collage the features on the face. Lastly, we chose a contrasting colour to mount the face on.
