Proportions of the Face
Face forward and in profile
1. Talk about how the structures underneath our skin shape the way we look - I want students to understand what the simple shapes most artists use as a base are representing, before we use those same simple structures to build our faces
2. Have students follow along on their sketch paper as I lay out a super simple face and apply rules of proportion to a face looking forward on the white board - Take a volunteer model to talk through/show how I personalize that simplistic face shape to match a real person - then give students 2 or 3 minutes to make the features on their drawing more specific
3. Demo a head in profile - connecting how the front face proportions apply, and after a simple shape - how I can make it more specific
4. Hand out nice paper for teams to begin sketching their final piece, and let students tell me when they are ready for material application (some might not be in this session)
