Combining poetry and portrait drawing
This Art and design video guides learners through the process of creating a self-portrait using a continuous line drawing and personal poetry. Learners draw their own portrait without lifting the pencil, then overlay the image with handwritten text, following the lines of the drawing to build a thoughtful and expressive piece.
This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Art & Design Curriculum Framework (0067). In the Stage 5 Painting and mixed media: Portraits unit, this lesson helps learners explore identity and creativity by combining visual and written expression.
