Drawing Portraits: Celebrating Class Success!
By Sheila Ceccarelli
Students from AccessArt’s Experimental Drawing Class worked together to draw a ‘Portrait of a Class’ and celebrate the class of 2013! In this session, the teenagers explored drawing portraits of each other in pastel, on a large-scale and including marks instead text around the images to describe their classmates.

I love the idea of the kids expressing their feelings about the person through line images!

Love these big portrait ideas. I recently completed one using heavy duty lining paper with the Foreign Language students moving to a different place when the music stopped. Noisy but fun!

I’m hoping to do something like this with a group of Grade 8 students and seniors. Will have to see about mobility issues – but I think this would be really interesting as they get to know each other during a 6 week session. Thanks!
