MAFS.7.G.1: Draw, construct and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them. LAFS.6.SL.1.2: Interpret information presented in diverse media and formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively, orally) and explain how it contributes to a topic, text, or issue under study. Student Activities & Students are first introduced to the Selfie PPT. Procedures Within the power point, provide examples of artists with self-portraits. We discuss how a mood is created based on the artists chosen medium. We also talk about how forms are created from shapes and by use of values we can create the illusion of space. PPT below. Next we review the symmetry of the face, breaking down the face shape into fractions, 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8th. Basically determining where the eyes go (one eye space between two eyes) We review facial shapes (such as round, oval, heart, square, etc.. ) (we also discuss jaw and hair lines) Next we review step by step how to create an eye, nose and mouth turning basic shapes of the face (using direct observation) into forms. I also demonstrate how to manipulate value to create depth. Students will then have 3-5 days to complete a worksheet where they have to complete full rendered with value images of 3 eyes, 3 noses and 3 mouths. Next students will be assessed and teacher will decide which students will create their own self portrait using pencil, soft color pencils or oil pastels. Teacher will determine medium based on students mastery of understanding.
