Portrait Drawings- 8th Grade

Eek! Skulls

The 8th graders aren't getting ready for Halloween. They are studying the bone structure of the face for their portrait unit. They drew one where they focused on shadows (black on white) and one where they focused on the highlights (white on black).

They have completed these skulls, are working on their Lion's Club Peace Poster contest, and then they will go back to drawing portraits. We will look at Frida Kahlo and various other portrait artists.

 

Final Portraits

The 8th graders are in the middle of their portrait unit. They are working on their sketches and drawings of a portrait. They completed their notes, their skull drawings, and have now moved on. Below are some of the results. No matter how many times that I rotate some of the pictures, Blogger changes them to the other direction. I'm sorry about that.

 

This student really wanted to draw this commonly seen character. I knew that the student really wanted to and that he would do a good job, and he didn't let me down. Way to go Logan G.!
