  8. Where do you see portraits?

  9. Your Project! • We will be creating a portrait using graphite (pencil) and a photograph. • The photograph can be of someone famous, someone influential to you, or just someone interesting! • We will be splitting the photograph so that you draw one part and the other is used as a guide.

  10. Example

  11. Photograph • Your photograph can come from these places: • Magazine • Book • Internet • Your own photo • Then we will print/copy your photo from my computer to the teacher’s lounge. • You will decided how you want to split your photo • Glue one part down to the drawing paper and the other part will be used to guide you through “finishing” the image with your pencil(s).
