We began the project by exploring self-portraits by well-known artists and learning a little about the artists’ lives. In preparation for drawing their own self-portraits using 2B/4B pencil, we discussed the proportions of the face and the position of facial features. Year 5 carefully observed their own faces in mirrors and attempted to capture their own likenesses. I think these are brilliant! See if you can spot who is who from our gallery below. In addition to our portrait lessons, twelve pupils from Year 5 are attending after school sessions to draw/paint the portraits of two of our wonderful TAs, Mrs Shirley and Mrs Holdaway. Once finished, we plan to enter the portraits into a SkyArts competition and (if we win) maybe see them featured on TV. Please wish us luck!
