Class Experience

In this lesson, students will learn about facial proportions and portraits. Students will create their own self-portrait drawing using pencil. 

Students will learn how to accurately draw each facial feature and will use shading techniques to finish their drawing.

My teaching style is hands-on with demonstrations by myself for every step. I strive to create a warm and open classroom where students feel that they can ask questions whenever necessary. I will ask questions of the class and encourage responses and interactions from the group. 

Core subject areas addressed in this lesson: Math (through the use of measurements)

Students do not need any prior art knowledge or experience to take this course.

Learning Goals

Students will be able to:

-Accurately measure out the placement of facial features.
-Use shading to add depth and dimension to their drawing.
-Complete a self-portrait drawing of their own.
