Description
Are you ready to change up how you teach portrait drawing in your middle school and high school art classes? Check out this comprehensive Portrait Drawing Unit, a newly released resource that equips you with everything you need to guide your students in creating realistic and Expressive Portraits. The scaffolded teaching approach will help your students explore the intricacies of facial features, scale, proportion, and value, all while boosting confidence in their drawing skills.
Over 80 Reference Photos and Seven Student-Centered Tutorials:
This comprehensive unit provides over 60 reference photos for facial features and seven fully narrated student-facing video tutorials. Take your students on a journey to master the art of drawing eyes, noses, mouths, and hair, culminating in a complete Expressive Graphite Pencil Self-Portrait. Each tutorial focuses on techniques for facial features, scale, proportion, value, shading, and achieving an accurate likeness.
Enhance Drawing Skills Step by Step:
Prior to the self-portrait project, students will delve into individual facial features, refining their observation and drawing skills. The unit includes fully narrated tutorials for each feature, perfect for in-class teaching, distance learning, homework, or as extra practice. This resource also serves as an excellent substitute plan.
Develop Confidence and Portrait Knowledge:
Watch your students find new levels of confidence as they learn the quadrant/sighting freehand method of drawing. With a creative reference photo and a focus on scale, proportion, values, and transitions, students will craft expressive self-portraits that showcase their growth, knowledge, and dedication to the art of drawing.
This timeless lesson can be used year after year to nurture your students' skills and bolster their confidence in portraiture. Before diving into this unit, students can build a solid foundation through lessons like the Quadrant Method, Shape Method, Negative Space, and the No Outlines Sphere and Stone Alphabet, all thoughtfully crafted for growth and development.
