Theme: Personal Narratives
Materials: oil pastels, water paint, paint brushes, water cups, large drawing paper, computer(with printer and paper), ruler, pencil, circular stencil
Students will observe the self-portraits from Picasso and Klee and review warm and cool colors.
Step 1: fold the paper in half (half will hold the written portion and the other will hold the portrait)
Step 2: using a ruler, a pencil and a circular stencil.... trace the circle on the paper (this will represent the face/head
Step 3: Using the ruler break up the facial plan by drawing vertical and horizontal lines.
Step 4: Add other features to represent the eyes, nose, ears, neck and upper body. These lines may be curved.
Step 5: trace the lines with an oil pastel.
Before moving on discuss warm and cool colors. Students will need to decide if they will represent themselves with warm or cool colors.
Step 6: beginning at the to of the page paint each section making sure like-colors do not touch. If this happens use the pastel to create a dividing line for prevention.
While art is drying students should begin working on their personal narrative
- focus on a small moment from your live
- write the way you would speak
-use details to tell (who, what, when, where, and how)
- make sure to have a beginning, middle, and end
- Describe people, places, and things.
Students will visit the computer lab to type up their personal narrative, print, and attach to the blank side of their artwork.
