1st Grade Proportional Portrait Practice Drawings

The first grade class is studying how to draw a person’s face using proportion and measurements.  Students discussed the various shapes they see in a face as well as relative sizes and positions of these features.  You will notice guidelines in the drawings that helped students position features on the face.

This exercise in proportion and looking at the details in a human face are in preparation for self-portrait collages they will be starting soon using construction paper.  Please enjoy a few examples from Ms. Clark’s class.
