DIRECTIONS:
On a sheet of unlined 8 ½ x 11 paper (you can use lined paper if you don’t have unlined paper available), using pencil or pen, draw a full-body self-portrait (picture of you) doing the most fun, adventurous or exciting thing that you did over the summer break. Your drawing must meet the following criteria: 1 It should only be outlines of you and any other objects. No coloring or shading… very important. 2 It should use up the entire page. 3 All of the shapes you draw should be “closed shapes”. For example, if you draw a circle, make sure that the beginning and the end of the line you draw touch each other once your circle is done. This part is also very important. 4 Your self-portrait should show you and at least five other objects or things as well as the background (where you were as you were doing what you were doing). I know, it’s very hard to draw people. Just do your best. Your drawing doesn’t have to be super realistic. It can be cartoonish. Hold onto this drawing when you are done. We will be using it as part of another project soon. Have fun with it. Remember, your best effort will be plenty good enough even if you are not an experienced artist. Comments are closed.
