Lesson 5: Photorealistic self-portraits

Learners needing support:

• Could be provided with a pre-printed grid on their portraits.
• Should look closely at the photographs, square by square, before drawing.

Learners working at a stretch

• Should be challenged to enlarge the picture rather than replicate it on the same scale by creating a larger scale on their large paper making sure that there is the same number of squares on both.
• Could experiment with different techniques for photorealism, such as close observation or tracing and transfer.
