OBJECTIVE:

● To create a painting comprised (made up of) my family's faces which: focuses on their facial features by
   zooming in, their faces large, filling the picture plane,; communicates their mood(s) through facial ex-
   pression; and, through my correct use of SHAPE, VALUE, LINE & SPACE, shows the correct/approximate
   PROPORTIONS of a human face.

● Analyze and simplify complex 3-Dimensional Forms (down to) their basic (2-D) shape(s) & values (lights &
   darks) in order to draw a likeness of the form.

● Use a tool (paintbrush handle/pencil) to measure a form/face, to get correct angles, & use these measure-
   ments and angles to analyze painted faces for accurate proportions.

 

CROSS-CURRICULAR:

This project corresponds with & supplements the Social Studies Family Unit and Math
Unit (fractions) students are engaged in their grade level classroom by developing:

HIGHER ORDER THINK SKILLS & MATHEMATICAL REASONING
through our application of:

MEASUREMENT
Guidelines/Fractions: Dividing the face into 1/2 & 1/3's

PROPORTION
Comparing the size of a part to other parts & the whole
