Division 5 created a two different portraits this term.

The first was a “half ‘n’ half” portrait where one side was part of a lesson in proportionate sketching, and on the other side, students used symbolism to represent who they are and what they like. After reading What Are Your Words? students added descriptive words to their portraits.

The second self-portrait was inspired by the art of Chuck Close. Students chose poses to represent themselves in a photo, then used weaving, drawing, shading, and painting to finish the portraits. Students used pencil crayon and pen to add texture to their face, hair, and clothing. The background includes alternating patterns, with attention to complementary warm and cool colours.
