Portraiture Projects BEGIN

2nd-
Warm and Cool Color schemes and the feelings behind colors.
Creating Warm & Cool Paint Papers with tempera cakes
Learning about contour lines (a continued outline with no shading) and using photographs of themselves to create a contour line drawing.
Their portraits will be on one paint paper so the black 'pops' off the paper.
The opposing paint paper will be used for their names on their projects.













3rd-
Abstract Portraits with Modigliani Inspiration
Black paper and Elmers glue will start this project off.  Our drawing will be worked out onto a long black paper that we will then be using our glue bottles to help us go over the lines.  The glue will dry and we will fill in the image with soft pastels.

Modigliani (Amedeo Modigliani) was famous for his elongated and elegant portraits, painted in Paris back in the early 1900s. Heads and necks were long and narrow, giving his subjects a very graceful look.
fixed the dripping glue... but eliminating the eyes for the modigliani hollow look
4th-
1/2 portraits & lots of color.  Guidelines help us work this portrait out.  Focusing on shapes and lines and all the good stuff that makes us- US!
Warm & Cool color schemes or Complimentary color pairs will be used for our defining of the hair / skin.  Oil Pastels will be the go-to in this project!  Our faces will be cut out and applied to a black / white or black & white background.  (Variety people!!! Everyone loves VarIety)
We will also be working on Block Lettering.  This we will begin working on to then find some details to add to our work!!!
Kathy Barbro rocks!




Lets Be Awesome.
