Portraits Almost Done- 4th Grade

In the last phase of their drawing unit, each child got to make a light drawing of themselves using their own black and white picture as a visual reference. Remember from our prior posts, each portrait will be created with one adjective in mind; one aspect of themselves they would like others to recognize immediately as they view their work. In their final drawings they are expected to include all they have been learning about facial proportion, contrast shading, and specific techniques in drawing each facial feature. Next week, children will add dark and medium tones to some areas using a pencil and this should make their drawings come to life.
