Mark-Making Portrait Unit

A complete unit of work that explores mark-making and portrait drawing.  The unit includes:

  • A stage-by-stage detailed unit of work.*
  • Learning about the proportions of the face.
  • Practicing drawing features of the face.
  • Practicing mark-making with a range of media, with a good example.
  • Drawing a portrait of a celebrity** and applying effective mark making.
  • Good examples of student mark-making portraits by students aged 11/12 years.
  • Lots of homework ideas.
  • An assessment rubric specific to this unit.

*This unit of work does not include individual lesson plans.

**This could be changed to drawing a portrait of themselves, family member or friend.

There are many more portrait art resources on The Arty Teacher website.

    Thank you. These are some great drawing exercises that can easily be extended. This was a life saver for getting me organised at the start of term.
