ASSIGNMENT: 

1. We are going to do a portrait of an adult (can be a parent, a teacher or anyone you like) in the style of Italian artist Amadeo Modigliani. If you would like to know more about this artist before we go further, click HERE. And here is a screenshot when I "googled" Modigliani portraits:

2. Next: Draw your portrait using these steps:

a. Draw a "U" shape for the face.
b. Draw hair and ears.
c. Draw the neck (two lines).
d. Draw the collar and shirt (have lines go off the bottom of the page).
e. Draw almond-shaped eyes, an "L" nose, and a mouth.
f. Add lines in the background to carve up the space.

3. Color the shapes of each box using a different color for each: red, blue, yellow.

4. Using your paintbrush dipped in water, "paint out" the pigment from the marker and fill in the box. Do all the boxes in the background; let dry.

5. Now outline the person using a black or dark blue marker. Use your water to fill in areas such as the hair, the eyes and the shirt. You're done!
