Advanced Art Contour Self Portraits

Advanced Art students are pushing the limits of contour! For their self-portraits, students started by taping paper to the floor and and a sharpie to a yardstick. They observed their faces in a mirror and drew using contour technique on the floor! Here are some pictures!

 Next, students traced their self-portraits onto vellum and collaged tissue paper onto them. They were not allowed to use scissors for this part. Finally, students retraced their drawing or flipped the vellum over and wrote about themselves on their portraits. Here are some pictures of students finishing their portraits. They wind up being much more expressive and personal than many of their more traditional self-portraits.

These self-portraits will be on display in the athletic foyer soon!
