Step-By-Step Art Lesson: Abstract Self Portrait (side profile) cover, four striped finished portraits, contents list
Introduce the project by showing the finished artwork examples
Drawing rules and materials: draw lightly in pencil, retrace lines, use a ruler when told; paper, pencil, ruler, eraser
Go over before students begin; gather supplies listed
Steps 1 and 2 of a side-profile drawing: students sketch their hair outline, then add an ear, with four examples of each
Model these first strokes on the board while students follow
Steps 3 and 4 of the profile: students draw a nose, then mouth and lips, choosing from four examples or their own shape
Encourage students to adapt features to look like themselves
Steps 5 and 6 of the profile: students add a chin and neck, then an eye with eyelashes, shown in four example drawings
Completes the face outline before the background work
Steps 7 and 8: students mark evenly spaced dots with a ruler down the left side, then rule horizontal background lines
Measuring practice: hand out rulers for this stage
Steps 9 and 10: students draw a vertical line where hair meets the background stripes, then measure dots across the hair
Check that spacing matches the earlier background dots
Steps 11 and 12: students rule lines down the hair, keeping the face clear, then colour background stripes black and white
Remind students to keep the face free of lines
Steps 13 and 14: students fill the hair stripes black and white, then add random lines, curves and swirls across the face
Open-ended stage for students' own shape choices
Step 15, the final step: students colour the face shapes in different bright colours, leaving the eyes white; 'The end!'
Final colouring session; display finished portraits afterward
