Expressive Self Portraits Lesson

7/27/2020

An Exploration Of Proportion & Expression

This is my introduction video into facial proportions and creating a self portrait that is also personally expressive. 50% of my grade is based on the careful use of proportion, and the other 50% is based on the expressive quality of the work and media use. The books I reference are at Firehouse Publications.

The secons video explains how I expect my introductory students to handle facial features and details. There are many more tutorials out there, but this hits on the basics.
