CONCEPTS
How do artists transform their initial ideas into compelling artistic expressions?
What role do persistence and experimentation play in overcoming challenges in the art-making process?
Review the color theory concept of cool colors.
Plan a self-portrait by sketching a variety of options. Explore setting, pose, and overall style in thumbnail compositions. Compare and contrast thumbnail sketches. Choose one sketch for the final drawing.
Based on the hand-drawn sketch, take a self-portrait photograph to serve as an inspiration and a guide for a digitally drawn self-portrait.
Using the photograph as a reference, draw the portrait in Adobe Express.
Add layers. Begin applying color to the specific layers. Include details using cool colors as each layer is added.
Continue to define the portrait details and add finishing touches using cool colors.
Combine layers and export the final artwork.
Use the Compare and Contrast Portrait resource to reflect on the impact of technology on the hand-drawn portrait sketch and the digitally drawn self-portrait. Discuss the similarities and differences for preserving and presenting the hand-drawn sketch and the digital portrait.
