Assignment
Monochromatic Portrait of a celebrity you admire
Objective
Prior to this project, students learned about color theory and created a color wheel identifying SHADES, TONES, and TINTS. The student will use a single primary or secondary color and mix it with white and black to change the value of a color. The students will focus and demonstrate the Elements of Art (Line, Shape, Value, and Color) and the Principles of Art (Balance, Contrast, and Unity).
Vocabulary
Monochromatic, Shade, Tone, Tint, Value,
Supplies
Portrait (9" x 12"), Mat board (11" x 14"), Pencil, and Paint
The Process
Step 1
The student will reference and draw the portrait on the mat board using a pencil.
Step 2
The student will identify and map the values (light, medium, and dark) with a pencil.
Step 3
The student will begin painting the background, followed by the body/clothing, neck, face, and ending with hair.
Post project essential questions:
What was successful about your project?
What part of the project did you find challenging?
Did you find the act of mixing colors difficult?
After the process of mapping do you look at a face now and see all the different skin vales?
