Funny Faces and Fabulous Features

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.
