Self-Portraits
Background
Students completed a written reflection in their sketchbooks. Students described a moment when they have felt the most free. Students then selected a color or a few colors that related to that experience. Students described the connection between the color and the memory of freedom. Students used this color palette for the background of their self-portraits. Students used chalk pastels to complete the background of their self-portrait.
Grid Drawing MethodWe used the grid drawing method to complete our self-portraits. We started with 1 inch boxes and scaled down the boxes in areas where more detail can be found.
Here is a video reviewing the method. |
