1/2 face to face project
3 parts
Students were introduced to the layout/composition of the human face. Where the parts are and what do they look like? Using pre printed face patterns they practiced drawing a “realistic” face. Looking in a mirror they changed their expression and observed facial feature shapes. After completing their sketches, students selected a preprinted half face portrait. They attached the image to a natural backdrop and completed the picture by drawing the other half of the face.

This project is influenced by the work of the Huichols people of west central Mexico. These indigenous people have preserved their pre-European religion and rituals and use many of these symbols and myths in their art. Students looked at samples of yarn painting by the Huichols’ and using a mandala template created their own color patterns and designs.
