Art 2 - Expressive Who I Am Portraits 02.06.17 through 03.07.17

Objectives: Use realism, standard proportion, altered proportion, and emphasis to create two portraits. One will be a realistic portrait, the other an expressive portrait.

Answer the essential question: How do I express who I am in a portrait?

Bell ringer: Define the following key words: realism (in art), emphasis, standard proportion, altered proportion, emphasis, and portrait.

Materials: A large color picture of yourself: at least 8” x 10”, Front, face view: shoulders up, (Parental permission needed to allow you to cut it in half; if one is not available, take a digital photo, upload and print it in library, however, it may have less quality), a regular pencil, white eraser, glue, and two 8.5” x 11” or 9” x 12” sheets of sketch paper, color pencils.

Activities:

With prior parental permission, take your photo, measure the exact halfway mark from the top to the bottom. Cut the photo in half.
Lightly glue each half to separate sheets of sketch paper using portrait orientation. The right edge of the right photo should be placed on the right edge of the sketch paper. The left edge of the left photo should be placed on the left edge of the other sheet of sketch paper.
On the realistic portrait paper lightly sketch the other half of the photo to match the existing proportions and features. Show the drawing to Mr. B. to verify the proportions. Finalize the drawing using correct tints and shades to make as realistic as possible.
For the expressionistic portrait lightly sketch the other half of the photo to match the existing proportions and features. Show the drawing to Mr. B. to verify the proportions. Think of objects that represent or symbolize who you are: your likes, interests, concerns, or personality.
Use the exact and/or modified symbols as your features, e.g. hair, eyes, mouth, etc.
Use color pencils to complete the expressive portrait. The more expressive in symbols, design and color, the better! Proper proportions and features; realistic; identifiable representations/symbols of likes, interests, concerns, or personality; above-average craftsmanship: precise, clean, no wrinkled paper, no smudges, presentation quality.
