First, draw a “U” shape on your paper!

And one very important rule in today’s drawing – if you feel like you made a mistake – DO NOT cross it out or get another paper – call over a parent volunteer and we will help you make your “mistake” into art!

Put on your listening ears and get ready!

Next, decide if you would like to draw a man or a woman – if you want to draw a woman, keep your paper with the “U” shape up. If you want to draw a man, turn it upside down…you don’t have to draw a girl if you are a girl or a boy because you are a boy…

Put on your listening ears and get ready!

Next we have the eyes - 2 lines for football shape, line on top for eyelid, then lashes (boys are few and short, girls longer and curved). Eyeballs are circular in same spot of football. Pupil in the center is black.

Look up when you have completed the eyes

Put on your listening ears and get ready!

Next we have the nose – start with the center/bottom of the nose which can be pointy or curved. Then draw the two nostrils curved and pointing down. Then draw the outer curves. Last draw the bridge lines of nose.

Look up when you have completed the nose

Put on your listening ears and get ready!

Next we have the mouths – on the male drawing you might draw a mustache shape. Then draw a small upper lip (just two lines that look like a worm, then another small one for bottom lip)

For a female skip a finger space and draw a tiny upward curve for center of upper lip, then two lines out for lip. If mouth open just draw a couple of front teeth getting smaller as go back in mouth, part of tongue, then lower lip to finish mouth.

Look up when you have completed the mouth

Put on your listening ears and get ready!

Ok now put your caps on your markers and put them down to see the next steps and the

presentation about what we are doing today!

Pens down!

What have we drawn on our papers?A picture of someone’s face – this is known as a

portrait!Throughout time, many people have had their portraits

done – so how can we tell when the portrait was created?

Well, some of the context clues are: Facial expressions – people’s facial expressions

early in history are serious while these days with instant photographs we can capture people smiling, twirling, and laughing

Hairdos – you’ll notice that throughout history people had lots of different hairdos – braids, chignons, BIG poofy hair, wavy hair, etc. And you can often tell the time period based on the hairstyle!

What have we drawn on our papers?Take a look at these different hairstyles over

time…

Most of those were photographs, but there was a time when we did NOT have cameras!

How do you think people had their “picture taken” before there were cameras?

The answer to that is that they didn’t have their pictures taken!

They had them painted by artists like Gilbert Stuart

Portraits of people with crazy hair

Painting of Stuart by Sarah Goodridge, 1825

Page 11: Are you ready for a drawing adventure?

Because paintings took a LONG time and you needed a talented artist to create an accurate picture, not everyone could have a portrait of themselves.

Gilbert Stuart focused mostly on portraits of Presidents – they were pretty important…

John Adams, 1821

James Madison, 1805-1807

Portrait of George Washington (The Athenaeum Portrait), 1796This is the picture you can see on the $1 bill!!!!

Look at these portraits of President ObamaWhich portrait makes Obama look more

presidential?Which do you like better and why?

Page 13: Are you ready for a drawing adventure?

Our current form of portraits are more relaxed and relatable – keep in mind, this artist most likely took a photograph of President Obama and used that photograph to complete this painting

In our other presidential portraits we looked at, those presidents had to sit still for the painter to work and often hold their facial expressions for a very long time can you imagine holding a smile for 5-1o minutes or up to hours depending on how your painter worked?

We are going to go back to our drawings shortly and work on bringing more interest to our drawings

We will do this by using repetition to create implied texture like you see in these pictures:

Page 15: Are you ready for a drawing adventure?

Focus now on adding detail to your drawingsAdd your crazy hairdo or beard to your

portraitRemember to use at least 2-3 repeating lines

to create implied texture

Let’s review what we learned today…A picture of a person is a portraitImplied texture is when we use lines in a

repetitive manner to create the look of texture in a drawing or painting

Gilbert Stuart painted the portrait of George Washington on one dollar bills

Discussion questionsWhat face would you make if someone

was going to capture your portrait?What can you do to create implied texture?Why were people more serious in their

expressions in the earlier portraits we studied?

Why didn’t they just take a picture?What president is on the one dollar bill?What artist painted that picture?Did you enjoy this activity?
