Pointillist Portraits and More

Lesson idea submitted by Mike Kelly,
8th grade art teacher in Tillamook, Oregon.

Materials:

  • Digital camera (or photocopy of school photo)
  • carbon paper
  • white drawing paper
  • pencils
  • color pencils
  • markers
  • watercolor

Use digital camera images or photocopies of student school pictures to make 4 (or more) self-portrait images. (Students use carbon paper and make four images on a large white paper). Using different Fine Art posters, talk about various medias and techniques that artists can use to create images. Look at portraits through time - discuss modern art styles. This year we use felt tip pens for pointillist technique, cross-hatching, water color and color pencils. Try different colors plans (Fauves - Warhol). High motivation - parents love them!
