Drawing a Half Face

Untitled

I had so much fun wrapping up the year with my 7th grade with this fun drawing project.  They drew a 'half-face' self portait.  I think I did something like this in high school and I have taught high school kids this lesson too.  What I like about this lesson is it give kids confidence.  I like taking baby steps to drawing.  This project is all about value and blending with a pencil and blending stump.  Many of the  kids found great success with this lesson.  Please see many other project samples by visiting my flickr site.

Also at the bottom is a video of this lesson.  Feel free to use the video in class.  If you site it on your blog, please site this post.  Thanks!

Feel free to watch and even show you class the video for this project.  If you use it, send me an image or two from you class.  I would love to see any changes you make to this fun project.  Here is the link to the youtube video.

    Great idea! Also great to have the video. I would like to try this with my class but not sure if they'll manage as they are only age 9. Have you tried it with younger children? Thanks!
