Portraits: Proportions of the Face

Description

Teach the proportions of the face with this easy-to-follow worksheet that clearly shows how a ‘standard face’ is divided up.  Essential for portrait units of work. Your students can work directly on the blank grid, which has all the lines in place, allowing them to concentrate on drawing – or if you want them to draw their own grid you can, of course, do that.

Once your students have the features of the face in place they can refer to the additional picture of the face which is at 100% opacity.

There are other portrait art resources on The Arty Teacher.

  • Good starting point for introducing Portraiture

    By LSouthwell on (Verified Purchase)

    The handouts are really clear and useful. I gave students the option of using the outline drawing of the proportions or working from that and copying it in their sketchbook themselves. They all referred to the information on the handout with the greyed out photo underneath and this helped with alignment. The photograph they were working from is clear and an interesting face – I was particularly impressed by some students who observed the anatomy around the mouth as there is a clear line from the side of the nose round and down to the chin. I think this really helps think in terms of 3D. The exercise also helped flag up those students who still drew what they thought they saw and didn’t get the shape of the eye right, drawing more of a rugby shape rather than what was there.

    I also identified that students still didn’t grasp how to draw noses and will do an interleaved lesson focusing on the anatomy of the nose to help them.

    As an extension I’ve also looked at the Loomis method (just to confuse them!)

    Sarah Crowther – The Arty Teacher

    I set up The Arty Teacher because I have a passion for my subject that I want to share with other art teachers around the world.

    I have been a high school art teacher for over 20 years, so I understand what it’s like to be in front of a class of students, often with very different abilities and attitudes.

    I wanted to develop resources that would help teachers to bring out the best in every student in every class. I also wanted to free-up staff from time-consuming lesson preparation to let them focus instead on delivering exciting, motivating, dynamic lessons, supported by excellent resources.
