Self-portrait
Mixed Media (7-8 weeks)
TASK: Create a self-portrait.
Human. The
man can be to
look through the prism of weight,
but as long as the world becomes more interesting when we start to look at each person individually! Each of us is different. We have different external features,
different interests, beliefs, religions. Makes us different culture, skin color. It connects the body and the right
to a beautiful life. Each of us
has in the middle of the beautiful values that are worth to see. We can learn from
each other lives.
To understand others we must first understand ourselves. Stop for a moment
and think - "Who am I?" "What
am I?" "What I like about myself?" "What
makes me different from others?"
"What I would like to share with other people?".
For you, this project will attempt to tell about yourself.
But also the possibility to meet other people - those who have lived before, and they are in
our minds - because they left their beauty,
and the people who surround us now.
STEPS TO FOLLOW:
All steps are combined with information that you can find on the
www.4myp.blogspot.com
1. (10th
September) During lessons you will learn the
basic principles of facial
proportions. Listen carefully to
the teacher and videos
that you watch on lesson. Make a note. Follow
portrait of a colleague using known rules. (CRIT.B)
2. At home, do some exercises. Draw elements of the face - nose, eyes, mouth, ears. Observe them from nature or from a photo. Do not
draw from memory. Exercise
can be measured in the bus or during a break
between lessons. It will be quick sketches,
in which the most important is the shape of the elements. (CRIT.B)
3. (
17th September) Bring a mirror.
During lesson you will
try to draw his face. Use a pencil or
pen. Be sure to follow the proportions of the face and the shape of the elements.
Draw a self-portrait is a very difficult task, so focus on it. Make
it as best you can. It will be a very good
exercise that will help you in
your final product at a high
level. Good luck :) (CRIT.B)
4. At home describe your self. Think the portrait
done as well as
you wanted? Do you have kept the
proportions of your face? Is the shape of a face
is right? What would you like to change? What elements need further exercise? What came out very
well and you are satisfied? Is the character in the picture resembles you? Why?
(why yes and why
not)? What gave you this exercise -
describe your thoughts. (CRIT.C)
5. ( 24th September & 1st
October) Bring to class pictures (newspaper / Internet) presenting portraits
of three people from different continents. Try to draw these
portraits in your workbook.
Look out for characteristics
of these people. Portraits
do the various techniques
/ mixed media. Select
the ones that you think
are the most interesting, in every portrait, please
use a different technique. To perform this task,
you have 2 VA lessons.
6. At home!
On our blog I presented a few self-portraits. Select
2 and describe them. They will help you
with this challenge questions.
Always include both factual information in own words
as well as personal opinion and observations.
Include images (color if possible) and text.
Please fill at least 2 pages in your Workbook and
remember to site site sources, consider presentation and visual look of your
research. (CRIT.A)
Guiding
questions to the editors of image description:
In the beginning ...
• Who was the artist,
in which period he worked, do you know the origin of work
• What technique he
applied
• What is the subject
of the image (the image and the
title), qualify for
a particular kind of image
that is curious
about what you're interested in it, why
you chose this picture?
DEVELOPED ...
• Is the image plane can be divided into parts (the
planes) - what is the composition of
an image (FIRST PLAN, SECOND PLAN, BACKGROUND
...)
• What kind of people are portrayed in the
image, their role in the picture,
what they do, what they look like
(their dynamics, movement,
gestures, facial expressions, clothing) -
DESCRIPTION + INTERPRETATION
• What is the colors of the image (try to name the colors), what is the mood of the image
FINALLY ...
• Is the image you
like, what could be the purpose of the
image, which is its value- YOUR IMPRESSIONS
(What does
it make you think? Why do like/dislike the work? Why? Does it remind you of
any-thing else? What does it make you wonder? What are you curious about?)
After describing the two selected images try
to compare them. What they have in common? What's
the difference?
7. At home. After finishing work on portraits describe them. How would you rate your works?
Do you like the result? Why? Which technique do
you think is the most interesting? Why? Or is there any
technique that you saw at a friend and you like
more? The technique
that you feel best?
Why? What similarities and what differences you
observed In the illustrated persons. How you tried
to show their differences in appearance? Describe your reflections. (CRIT.C)
8. At school. In the last few weeks have collected
a lot of experience with a man and a way how portray him. Tried different
art techniques and you know who you think
is the best to use in the main project. I
am convinced that at this time you watched a more firmly different people who you met. I hope you were trying to
look at each individually and not through the prism of the crowd.
Today's lesson is
offered for your reflections
about the experience gained. Think about how you can show yourself in
the artwork. Who are you. What are your characteristics.
What do you like, how you perceive others.
Think about both
your appearance and
the internal characteristics.
Describe it. Make design of their work. It
may be small drawings. Think about the composition and the elements that are on your image. Think again of
the techniques that we use in
your creative work. Plan your work. Check
out what materials are available at the studio, and what you should prepare
and deliver. Your
work should be done in mixed
technique. Choose the most friendly
ways to submit you on paper. J (CRIT.B) (CRIT.C)
9. At school. Create your own self-portrait.
* Time: 2
hours lesson
* Image Size A3 .
* Mixed
* in the image must appear YOUR face
Your work should be done aesthetically. Apply your
knowledge when creating the
image. Use your skills as best
you can.
Enjoy! J (CRIT.B)
10. At home, make analysis of
your work. Do an analysis of your image.
What it shows
what elements are used. What techniques did you use. Does the job do you like? Why? Would you like something
in it \ change?
What have you learned during the project? Which
elements are most interesting,
and that was not interesting? Do exercises help
you create your work? Which task is
right for you help? Describe your
all reflections on the project. (at least one
page). (CRIT.C)
