Face Study

Face Study: Drawing half of the face
Grade: 3
Author: Katie Haase and adapted by E.Luna
Goal: to develop understanding of the proportions of the human face. If the students drawing is proportional correct they have achieve the goal of this lesson.

Objectives:
·        Learn the proportions of the face
·        Learn to evaluate whether a drawing has good proportion
·        Draw a half self portrait using a photograph

Vocabulary:
·        Proportion- comparative relation between things as to size, quantity, number

Time: two to three 50 minute class periods

 Introduction
1 Four basic strands--perception, creative expression/performance, historical and cultural heritage, and critical evaluation--provide broad, unifying structures for organizing the knowledge and skills students are expected to acquire. Students rely on their perceptions of the environment, developed through increasing visual awareness and sensitivity to surroundings, memory, imagination, and life experiences, as a source for creating artworks. They express their thoughts and ideas creatively, while challenging their imagination, fostering reflective thinking, and developing disciplined effort and problem-solving skills.
2 By analyzing artistic styles and historical periods students develop respect for the traditions and contributions of diverse cultures. Students respond to and analyze artworks, thus contributing to the development of lifelong skills of making informed judgments and evaluations.
 Knowledge and skills
3.1 Perception. The student develops and organizes ideas from the environment. The student is expected to:
A. identify sensory knowledge and life experiences as sources for ideas about visual symbols and self;
B. identify art elements such as form, line, space, and value and art principles such as emphasis, rhythm, balance, and proportion in artworks.
3.2 Creative expression/performance. The student expresses ideas through original artworks, using media with appropriate skill. The student is expected to:
A. create an artwork based on personal observations and experiences;
B. develop an effective composition, using design skills and
C. produce a drawing using art materials appropriately.
3.3 Historical/cultural heritage. The student demonstrates an understanding of art history and culture as records of human achievement. The student is expected to:
C. relate art to different kinds of jobs in everyday life.

Materials:
·        Paper
·        Pencil
·        Eraser
·        Examples of the face
·        Students photograph

Procedure:
To start the lesson, ask the students if they have ever drawn a picture of themselves or if they have ever looked in a mirror and observed their facial features. All drawing involves proportion whether the subject is landscape or portrait drawing. Realistic drawing in particular depends heavily on proportional correctness. Therefore, realistic drawing is especially effective in training the eye to see the thing-as-it-is in its relational proportions. Individuals whose jobs require close estimations of size relationships; carpenters, dentists, dressmakers, carpet-layers, and surgeons develop great facility in perceiving proportion. After the initial discussion, show the video on how to draw: an eye, nose and mouth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6RFCfp7d2Y
Pass out the materials to the students. Students then will practice drawing the three facial features three times each by looking at the examples provided. They will glue the examples on their sketchbooks and draw three examples of these next to them.

Next step will be to take the students’ photograph and print. Students will cut the photograph by the face in half the long way (one eye, half nose and half mouth). Students will glue one side of the photo onto a sheet of paper leaving room beside it. Then they will lay the other half of their image down and draw the edge of it. Students can use a ruler to have a straight line. Next they will draw a contour of their face with pencil and add the value tones; light, medium and dark. Students should try to keep the details from their image as exact as possible. As students progress with the value; they should use a piece of scrap paper to proper the areas they already created on their drawing.

Concepts
Understanding of elements and principles
Artwork demonstrates good understanding of all concepts:
-          Identify realistic portrait drawing
-          Create a value scale
-          Use shading and blending techniques to represent value gradations in a face drawing
-          Identify and represent shape, size and placement of head and features
Artwork demonstrates a somewhat limited understanding of some concepts:
-          Identify realistic portrait drawing
-          Create a value scale
-          Use shading and blending techniques to represent value gradations in a face drawing
-           Identify and represent shape, size and placement of head and features
Artwork demonstrates a very limited understanding of only one or two concepts:
-          Identify realistic portrait drawing
-          Create a value scale
-          Use shading and blending techniques to represent value gradations in a face drawing
-           Identify and represent shape, size and placement of head and features
Artwork demonstrates no understanding of concepts:
-          Identify realistic portrait drawing
-          Create a value scale
-          Use shading and blending techniques to represent value gradations in a face drawing
-           Identify and represent shape, size and placement of head and features
Creativity
Uniqueness and originality
Familiar elements are combined to create an original composition
Some elements are added or changed in a composition
One or two elements are slightly changed in a composition
No attempt is made to create an original composition
Craftsmanship
Accuracy and attention to detail
artwork demonstrates a moderate level of accuracy and attention to detail
the artwork is generally complete
Artwork demonstrates accuracy and attention to detail
The work is somewhat incomplete
artwork demonstrates very limited accuracy and attention to detail
the work is quite incomplete
Artwork demonstrates no accuracy
There is no attention to detail
The work is very incomplete
