Creative Portraits
 |
| Frida Kahlo |
 |
| Titus Kaphar |
 |
| Kehinde Wiley |
Find a photograph of a person you want to draw
realistically. Draw yourself, a relative, celebrity…whoever you want. Make sure you are a using a clear image for a
reference. Send me the image you have chosen.
The drawing of the person will be in pencil. A value drawing. The background should add interest and/or
meaning to your portrait. We talked
about Frida Kahlo, Titus Kaphar, and Kehinde Wiley and the way their unique
artistic voice is conveyed in each work of art.
What does your artistic voice look like?
Have fun or be serious. Your choice.
What
you need to think about when working on your drawing…

portray face
