What's up in 7th grade art?

To start off the term, 7th graders have been working on the art of portraiture. Students began the unit by learning about the history of portraits and how artists can treat the subject of portraiture differently.

Students then created drawings of portraits from photographs as their pre-assessments. Students will redraw these same photographs at the end of the unit after learning more about facial proportions, hopefully showing improvement in their ability to draw faces.

Currently, students are working on learning how to draw each of the main facial features, eyes, noses and mouths.

Check out their progress below!

 

Check back in a few weeks to see the finished final portraits!
