Class Experience

Day 1:  
We will begin with a brief class discussion about self-portraits and the art of Jacob Lawrence. We will work step by step together as a class to draw our head shape, eyes, nose and mouth, observing our own faces carefully and using teacher tips for how to draw our features realistically. 

Day 2:
We will briefly review the art of Jacob Lawrence and discuss how to draw hair in different styles.  We will then begin adding color to our artwork with crayons and learn how to blend colors...
