Students used contour line to draw their self portraits from a photograph they had taken. There was a lot of emphasis on proportion as they drew themselves as well as composition. The goal was to use as much of the space as they could on their paper. They also had fun adding an Onomatopoeia in the background of their portrait. Students painted primary colors to achieve to look and style of Pop Artist Roy Lichtenstein.
One of the big focuses of this project was craftsmanship - this year when students come to specials they are grouped in a class and a half instead of only their own class. Because of this setting students are often times excited to socialize and forget to focus on creating high quality works of art. I am continuing to push the craftsmanship and perseverance skills with them this semester.
