Self-Portrait
EXAM Assignment: Create an accurate self portrait pencil drawing from a photograph using enlarged 1:2 (or thereabouts) grid.
Here are some examples of the kinds of pictures you can use.
DO use a picture that has a wide range of value.
DO use a picture that is somewhat close and cropped.
DO use a picture that has a neutral background. A picture with a busy background will be distracting.
DO use a picture that is recent!
If you can't get a picture to me- I can take it for you!
RUBRIC FOR FINISHED PORTRAIT
A: Excellent artwork, neat, extremely carefully done, attention paid to making a legible layout and composition, pencil marks are very neatly applied, and blended, and there are perfectly straight neat transitions between the invisible “squares” on the grid, the images were perfectly enlarged on to the grid, time was well spent working on assignment and no time was wasted.
B: Very good artwork, neat and carefully done, composition is readable, although there may be room for a few improvements, pencil is neatly applied and blended, transitions between squares are good but with a little room for improvement, the images were nicely enlarged on the grid, some distraction during work time.
C: Good artwork, adequate understanding of the process, composition is acceptable although there may be some misunderstandings or the grid images were not transferred perfectly…..pencil application is not consistent but is complete, some time was wasted during work time.
D: Poor artwork, messy pencil applications, the images were not adequately transferred on the grid, the artwork may not be completed, a lot of time was wasted on the project.
F: Incomplete or not turned in or poor artwork or very sloppy and messily
completed with no understanding of the grid process.
The following need to be complete and turned in by the end of exam period:
