What is a portrait?
A portrait shows a person. It can be; • a painting• a drawing• a photograph • a sculpture • or another artistic
representationThe face and its expression is
the most important part of the work.
The artist aims to show the likeness, personality and even the mood of the person.
A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer.This helps to connect the subject with the viewer.

Looking for clues in a painting
• The way the painting is arranged by the artist is called the composition.
• Look closely at the painting.
• What can you see in the background?
• Where has the sitter been placed in the painting?
• Is the sitter to the side or in the centre?
• Why do you think the artist placed the sitter there?

Plan
Choose one member of your class/group to ‘sit’ for the portrait study.
Think about….The composition of your
portrait studyWhere will your sitter be
placed in the picture?What will you have in the
background?Will you have any objects in
the study?Will these objects have any
special meaning?
Task: Recreate the painting in your class
Turn your classroom into an artist’s studio.
Organise the materials you will need.
Think about the seating.

• Talk about your finished portrait studies.
• Comment on each other’s work.
• Use ‘Two Stars and Wish’ to help you.
*Two things you like about the work. * One way to move forward with the work.
How will you develop your 2D studies into 3D work?
Challenge: Make a paper sculpture of your portrait study.
What do you already know about working with paper and card?

You could…..• Fill a brown envelope with scrunched paper. • Make paper curls for hair.• Could you make the features of the face 3D too?• Experiment with folding and rolling the paper and card.• Think about how you will join pieces.• Would you choose glue or double sided tape?• Why?

Reflect
Think about….
Something you did really well.
Something you didn’t understand.
Something you would change.
Did the finished sculpture meet your aims?
The next step….Make a paper sculpture of a
book character. Where will you locate the
character?Can you make a setting for
the character using a large box?
