Portrait Making

This term we are exploring different ways that we can express ourselves in Art.

Our first piece of art was to look at ourselves in a mirror and see what features we have and where they are place. 
Although our faces are all different some parts of our faces are the same.We found that we have eyes,  a nose, a mouth with teeth and lips, eyebrows, eyelashes and some of us even have freckles. We looked at the different colours of our skin, eyes and hair. 

After that we looked again in the mirror and decided where the features would go on our face. We found that are eyes are actually in the middle of our face and the top of our ears are in the same place but at the side of our head. We knew our nose went in the middle and our lips, teeth and mouth were underneath. When we drew a portrait of ourselves, we tried really hard to out our features in the right place. 

Here are our portraits. 











We hope you like them. You can see them much better in class, so please come along and visit us in Room 7 so we can show you how clever we are.

  1. This is great. What great portraits. I love the attention to detail of the drawings. (And yes, I checked that the top of my ears where in the same place as my eyes)
