Self Portraits

Class DB have taken photographs of themselves and used them to create a self portrait in pencil.
You can see the original photo, black and white (greyscale version) and the drawings.

In art, with Mrs.Mawson we have been learning to draw portraits. One week we took a photo of our table partner practising getting the right light and shade into it using a big white board. Then we put it onto Word and made it black and white. Then we printed them out. Mrs.Mawson handed them out, then we cut them in half. Afterwards we used chalk and charcoal to draw our face concentrating on the light and shade. We very much enjoyed it!
