Pupils started by lightly marking out the proportions of the face and where the features should be positioned. They then looked carefully at themselves in a mirror while using their observational skills to carefully draw their own image using pencil line. As you can imagine, portraiture is very hard - you will see from the pictures many signs of rubbing out and repositioning of features. Pupils only had two short sessions to complete these. Well done Year 5! Next week pupils will be using their drawings as a starting point when designing and making cardboard relief self-portraits.
