Last week, I modeled how to draw from a photograph by estimating proportions. Their goal was to make observations about their printed photograph and then draw helpful marks on their page that mirror their observations. Students were encouraged to ask themselves questions like- do my shoulders start at 1/4 of the page or in the middle of the page? Is my head almost touching the edge of the paper, or is there a lot of space between my head and the edge? and so on. From there, students drew the big, simple shapes first and then continued to add details and texture. This is not an easy task, but they have really stepped up to the challenge. I can't wait to see these all come together!
