Drawing Self-Portraits - Art 7

This week students learned about theabout the shape, position and proportion of facial features. They practiced drawing their self-portraits to demonstrate their understanding of the approximate symmetry of the face and correct positioning and proportion of the eyes, nose, mouth and ears.

The students were excited to use the mirrors to draw their portraits. Some were even a little obsessed with looking at themselves, others seems a little uncomfortable about focusing so intently on every detail of their facial features. In the end, after about 3 classes of practice, their "After" portraits were so much more improved from their pre-instruction "Before" portraits.
