Portraits

Portrait of a Stranger

Students were asked to describe themselves using the most descriptive language possible. Their descriptions were then collected and given to someone else. The artist was instructed to draw the person described to the best of their ability - without knowing who they were drawing! It was a fun experiment in using descriptors and facial proportions.


Snapchat Self Portrait

Students used their favorite filter to take a selfie and send it to Mrs. Evans. After the images were printed off, students were able to draw a grid over their print and enlarge their portrait 2 times bigger than the original. Students then used colored pencils to add color and value to their piece to make it look realistic.
