Year 5 Self Portrait Studies

Year 5 are exploring self portraits this term and spent a lesson drawing a detailed study in their sketchbooks using pencil. They were asked to focus on correct facial proportion and the different details of the face, such as eye lashes and freckles. The students are now embarking on their final pieces which will be painted in the style of the artist Chuck Close

Year 7 Mixed Media Self Portraits


Here is just a small selection of the mixed media self portraits produced by last years Year 7 in the Summer Term. The theme was 'Split Personality' and the pupils produced a portrait consisting of four different mediums (acrylic, pencil, fine-liner and collage). They also wrote in the background of two of the sections. The writing in pencil was that students' dislikes, whilst the writing in fine-liner was their loves.
