Nick Lepard

Umberto Boccioni

You will now draw some study drawings based on Jenny Saville’s work on distortion. Enlarge the drawing in your books, focus on the following points: PROPORTION TONE DETAIL After half term we will continue drawing faces but using different materials before we enlarge and distort your work.

HOMEWORK DUE FRIDAY 18 NOV 2011 Using the worksheet provided, write a few sentences about the artists work which we discussed together last term. Write about the processes used, how you think the images have been manipulated, the effect it has. and the end result. I’m expecting quality work a minimum of 30 minutes spent on your homework. DUE FRIDAY 18 NOV 2011

LESSON OBJECTIVE As you need to practice drawing the proportions of the face you will now look at some clear instructions on measurements. We will start working with various different materials, today we will work work with charcoal. Remember to fill the page, look carefully at the instructions on the board to make your face in proportion.

Instructions 1 Split the bottom half of the face into three equal sections between the bottom of the eyes and the bottom of the chin. Use a pencil and don't try too hard to be perfect as this part of the drawing is very rough. 2 Draw in with a pencil the bottom or tip of the nose that should rest on the first third line of the bottom half of the face. 3 Fill in the upper lip by drawing a line about half way up the second third of the bottom half of the face. The edge of the mouth should line up with the middle of the eyes.

4 Pencil in the indent of the chin by drawing a line half way up the bottom third of the bottom half of the face. The nose, middle of the lips and chin indent should all line up. 5 Sketch the bottom of the chin in line with the bottom of the third section. 6 Indicate hairline about half way up the upper half of the face. This would indicate a younger portrait whereas a hairline further up indicates a receding line or an older person. 7 Use pencil to draw in the rest of the features marked out in previous steps.

Moving on to your final piece of the project. You will each draw your own portraits, but with a twist. You will have to make your portraits distorted in some manner. You have looked at the artists such as Jenny Saville, Nick Lepard and these paintings may inform your own work. Now how will we distort your images….

LESSON OBJECTIVE First you will all complete your proportion sketches, this is to help you with measuring the face. Then, you will each take a distorted portrait photo from which to work on. I would like to to think of which materials you would like to use as a group, and why, your homework should have helped you think about which materials you may like to use.

HOMEWORK DUE FRI 16 TH Using the handout as a guide to measurements, draw a self portrait. Start with an oval shape BEFORE drawing any details such as eyelashes, etc. ensure that you have drawn all of the measurements to ensure your features are in PROPORTION. DO NOT draw hair in great detail I want to see PROPORTIONS

LESSON OBJECTIVE Your task for this lesson will be to begin adding colour and texture to your composed portrait. Remembering the work of the artist Takahiro Kimura, an example of his work is shown here, we will be adding another layer, first with paint, then with pencils, fine liners and pastels.

HOMEWORK Using your photograph, please write an evaluation of the Takahiro Kimura project. Write about looking at the artist as inspiration, what you had to do, if you think you were successful in embracing the artists style. If you took risks, your way of working. How you found the challenge and if you think that your finished piece was successful. Think about your presentation! DUE NEXT FRIDAY 10 FEB

LESSON OBJECTIVE HOMEWORK Write homework in our planners. Discuss presentation. COLLAGE FILM TASK Think about how we can make our characters move. You will then continue with the task for the remainder of the lesson with an AIM to complete your collage today, ready to be filmed next week.
