What educators are saying
This is a bit advanced for some students in middle school, especially if they haven't had a huge exposure to the arts. However, this resource would be engaging for high school students and those middle school students who are artistically affluent.
Wow, wow, wow! I loved using this with my students. I am always a little nervous about portraits because they are not my strongest area personally but the demo videos and student examples cover everything I would if I was making this resource.

GRID DRAWING WORKSHEETS:
- This is set of 8 worksheets takes students through the process of drawing on a grid. They progressively get harder as you move through the set. It starts with simple line drawings that are pre-labelled, then has students label the grid themselves, then has students use photographic reference. On the photographic reference sheets, students identify the contour lines, draw the subject and then add value to create the illusion of 3-dimensions on a flat surface.
FACIAL PROPORTIONS:
- Take students step-by step with worksheets provided and the powerpoint on how to draw the basic facial proportions.
SELF-PORTRAIT:
- Finally have students apply the knowledge they’ve learned through observational drawing, grids, and facial structure using a photographic reference to create their self-portraits.
