    Funny Faces and Fabulous Features

    Vocabulary:

    Collage, composition, facial feature, form, subject, texture. 

    This project teaches children about the concept of the portrait and how the collage technique can be used to make a portrait.

    We will explore portraits created by various artists and by using a mirror, we will have a go at drawing our own portrait. 

    Blue Marilyn by Andy Warhol

     

    Portrait of Dora Maar by Pablo Picasso

    We will then have a look at collages and have a go ourselves. We may create something like this! 

    Towards the end of the unit we will use what we have learnt to create a self-portrait using collage like the ones below. 

    We created our own people collages.

    Year 1 enjoyed learning how to do a running stitch to join two pieces of material together.
