1. Self PortraitsA portrait an artist makes usinghimself or herself as the subject.*Write everything that is underlined!**
2. Charcoal: Compressed burned wood used fordrawing. Charcoal is so fast, direct andresponsive, that it is amongst the leastinhibiting media. It can produce bold and fluidlines, and a great host of textures (dependingnot only on the artist's mark-making style, butalso on the paper), as well as subtlegradations for shadings.
3. Gestural drawing: used to block in the layoutof the basic shapes in the composition. Bestcompared to a scribble drawing. Seeks toexpress motion and/or emotive qualities ofthe composition.A common practice artistsuse in "warming up" at thestart of any new work. Agesture drawing is typicallythe first sort of drawingdone to begin a morefinished drawing orpainting.
4. Facial proportions: Guidelines that helpyou get the general size, shape andposition of features placed correctly on theface.
Facial Proportion Guideline1. Make a light outline of a face2. Add dividing lines in the middle (across anddown), for the nose, and lips3. Add eyes, 3 eyes rule4. Line up nose and lips to eyes5. Add detail to those features6. Ears7. Hair
Let’s Start!!!1. View the face from different angles. Try to find:– The over-all shape the face seems to form ¾ perspective, foreshortened, front, cropped– Reference the facial proportion guidelines to begindrawing2. Make 3 Gesture Drawings of 3 Differentperspectives in your sketch book. (For a grade)
For a grade Sketches due today:1. 5 Gesture sketch (20 sec)2. 3 Gesture find relationships (5minutes)3. 1 Gesture find relationships shading (rest of class)

AndyWarhol6. Pop Art a style of art which seeks itsinspiration from commercial art and items ofmass culture (such as comic strips, popularfoods and brand name packaging).
Andy Warhol is probably the most wellknown Pop Artist, mass producingimages of mass produced objects.His most famous works depictedCampbell's soup cans. Enlarged, handpainted or silk screened, framed, and hungin an art gallery, Warhol succeeded inturning these mundane images into ironic"art".Warhol experimented in media such asfilm, sculpture, paint, and silkscreen, butperhaps his greatest work was hisinvention of himself as an internationalcelebrity and pop culture icon.He made people question, “What isconsidered ART?” by creating artworkthat was made up of images from popularculture, like Coca Cola, Campbell’s Soup,Marilyn Monroe, etc.

Sketches Investigate:– Research and print out (on one page) 3 selfportraits or portraits you were inspired by.– Sketch out, on half a page, your self portrait.These will be for a grade. Communicate an idea about yourself Explore the shape and form of the head or of a fullportrait.1. 5 Gesture sketch (20 sec)2. 3 Gesture find relationships (5 minutes)3. 1 Gesture find relationships shading (10)
Objectives Creativity of Self Portrait Technical Skills– REALISTIC value for skin, textured value for hair)– Good Contrast & Value range (Really dark values & a range of midvalues) Good Composition.– The background is neatly shaded– Creative to Compliment the portrait. Craftsmanship /neatness.– Accurately drawn– (No scribbles, no shading gaps, white spaces, or harsh marks.– Effort & participation How much did YOU actually do verses what Idid for you?– No Gridlines shown
