Today, we are learning about self portraits. We learned when self portraits began and why nearly every artist has attempted a self portrait. We looked at 3 specific examples, Judith Leyster (1633), El Greco (1595-1600), and Piet Mondrian (1900).
Then, we learned how to draw people with the correct proportions. First, we used scrap paper to practice (preliminary sketch). Next time, we will draw ourselves on drawing paper.
Our final "Mini Me's" will be colored and cut out. Stay tuned!
Here are some of our completed "Mini Me's"! Can you tell who is who? :)
