> Students will draw half of a realistic self-portrait by looking in a mirror, using a portrait, and drawing what they see and learn about how the human face proportions.

> Students will make a self portrait split down the middle. One side will be a printed portrait of themselves. The student will draw the other side, a realistic drawing. (Students may trace the outline of the face but *add valuing and texture are key! Save the other half of the portrait for the next portrait drawing).

> Students will make a portrait that shows technical skills using the pencils, color, shading, value and composition by learning about each term and how they look in a work of art.

1. With the portrait you would like to draw, find the mid point between your eyes, nose, mouth.

2. Cut down the middle using scissors or an Exacto blade. (again, save the other half for the next portrait drawing).

3. Start to draw the other half of your face.

A. You may trace the half you will draw.

B. Trace the outline and where you know there will be value and texture.

C. Using a window or glass with a light behind it works.

***But I am looking for value and texture within the drawing.***

D. You may create a grid but draw the grid lightly.
