description
A. Learning Goals 1. Content: 1) Students will analyze the Essential Question: “What relevance is the Renaissance period to realistic portrait drawing?” 2) Students will learn of the Historical importance of Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli as Portrait Artists during the Renaissance, as well as contemporary and current examples from professional and student portrait artists. 2) Students will learn how to create a basic portrait guideline, position and draw in human face features. 2. Language: 1) Read, discuss, analyze the Essential Question. Select and write answers from a pre-questioning study guide portrait activity; 2) View and write notes on a Portrait Presentation showing Historical, current professional and student portrait images. Discuss and interpret new terminology; 3) Draw a proportionately aligned face features by selecting, analyzing and validating reasoning from sufficient evidence. 3a) Differentiated students will apply a guideline template under a page in sketchbook prior to drawing their face features. B. Relevance: Students will understand the relevance why light and shadow is important when creating a 3-dimensional realistic portrait; understand correct reasoning behind sfumato and chiaroscuro techniques, and each student will see sufficient evidence why portrait guidelines should be used for proper face feature positioning, especially if there is no grid method used.

Famous Portraitsin History
the Renaissance Period
One of the Most Famous Portraits in History!
The Mona LisaBy Leonardo da Vinci (1503-1506),
Oil Painting on panel, permanent collection at the Louvre, Paris, France.
Leonardo da Vinci and other artists were part of the Italian Renaissance.
The Renaissance was a cultural movement that sparked realism and human emotions in art. It profoundly affected European intellectual life from 1400-1500’s. Beginning in Italy, its influence was felt in literature, philosophy, art, music, politics, science, religion.
Here is a portion of the painting “The Birth of Venus” by Sandro Botticelli, 1486, drawn 20 years earlier to the Mona Lisa.
Here is Botticelli’s full painting “The Birth of Venus”, c. 1486, created during the early period of the Renaissance. Painting hangs in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.
Renaissance artists used techniques that launched a 3-dimensional & realistic look to the face.
Look closely in these BW versions… Write down 2 artistic techniques that Leonardo da Vinci uses in Mona, but Botticelli falls short of in this portrait of Venus.
Leonardo da Vinci broke through the flat-like portraiture by creating subtle gradations of tone which were used to subdue sharp edges and create 3-D form called
Sfumato.
Leonardo da Vinci also used a technique called Chiaroscuro, which means creating a skillful balance of light and dark in a painting, with strong contrasts to create dramatic effect.
You have been learning to draw using the Sfumato technique in your Goddess folds study, your landscape study, your animal.
You will apply this technique to your portrait.
You have been learning to draw the Chiaroscuro, dramatic effects of light and dark by pushing the gradient values on a 10 point scale; with the Goddess, marshmallow study, animal and soon in your portrait assignment.

Leonardo made thousands of sketches for studies to hundreds of paintings.
This is a study for the Virgin and Child with St. Anne. 1506-10 .
This is the full painting of The Virgin and Child with St. Anne.

Getting Started… Portrait Layout
Learning Guidelines to
Position & Measure Face Features
You will complete a portrait guideline that you can use as a future resource; another option to GRIDDING
Let’s Begin with an oval, egg shaped head…
Look at your subject. Is their head long, short or regular?
Can you see the difference in these oval shapes?
Draw your oval shape
first!
Here’s a little guide: The head is basically 4 eyes wide. Can you figure how the 4th eye fits in the width?
Long oval
shape
Short oval
shape
Regular oval
shape
Draw a lightly
sketched layout of the
ears!
DRAW ALL THE GUIDELINES BEFORE RENDERING!
Start by drawing a line to divide the oval 1/2 vertically and 1/2 horizontally.
Eye line
No
se mid
-line
Add horizontal line 1/2 way between middle & chin.
Lowest nose point line
Add another horizontal line little less than 1/2 way between the nose line & chin.
Lower lip line
Add another horizontal line ABOVE the middle line, along the inner top fold of the ear.
Brow line
Add a rectangle box from the brow line, down to just above the bottom nose line…. This is a guideline for the width of the nose wings. Hint: It is ¼ of the oval width.
Nose Wing width
Mouth Width
The red lines are drawn later. Start from the inner white of the eyes and down to the lip line.
Try to draw the mouth (lips) after the eyes and nose are drawn.
Let’s review the guidelines using an actual portrait….
Start by drawing rectangular box around the oval face….
Visualize an oval touching the top and bottom of the box.
Eye line:Draw a line to divide the oval 1/2 vertically and 1/2 horizontally; should intersect the center of each pupil.
Nose length: Horizontal line 1/2 way between middle & chin.
Brow Line:Add another horizontal line ABOVE the middle line, along the inner top fold of the ear.Lower lip line:Add another horizontal line 1/2 way between the nose line & chin.
Nose Wing Width:Add a rectangle box from the brow line, down to just above the bottom nose line…. Hint: It is ¼ of the oval width.
Nose width & eye width:The nostrils will usually be a little wider than the width of one eye!
The red lines are drawn later. Start from the inner white of the eyes and down to the lip line.
The mouth (lips) should not be drawn in until the eyes and nose are drawn.
The red and orange lines show the width of eyes and in between. Are they the same?
Now, it is your turn to draw your own portrait guideline resource!
Another way to measure proportions, width and height for a human head with shadows!
Now, it is your turn to draw your own portrait guideline resource!
Another way to measure proportions, width and height for a human head- 5 eye widths across!
Now, it is your turn to draw your own portrait guideline resource!
Another way to measure proportions, width and height for a human head- 6-7 eye widths in length!
Now, it is your turn to draw your own portrait guideline resource!
