Next, we took photographic portraits of each other using cameras, focusing on a head and shoulder composition. After printing these photos out, we traced the contour lines onto transparency sheets (saved from the trash bin) and made a watercolor resist background using descriptive personality characteristics as our design. After all, a good self-portrait should show something of the character of the person as well as a likeness.
Love these !!!! SO you display them by placing the transparency over the finished watercolor, or do you transfer the line image somehow ???
ReplyDeleteLove those! I had something like this rolling around inside my head - since you worked it out now I can try it! Great job Hope!
ReplyDeleteThese are similar to a pop-art self portrait project I'm having my kids do now. Super cool! Great work!
ReplyDeleteWould you consider sharing your Facial Proportions worksheet through your Teachers Pay Teachers site? Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Suzanne! I will do that for sure.
