Introduce pupils to drawing, with activities to help them draw to scale and record from their first-hand experience of figures in both 2D and 3D. Self-portrait and portrait are explored through observational studies as well as investigating the work of famous artists, applying different styles and interpretations to pupils’ own work.

Students will have the opportunity to practise their observational study skills to understand ratio and proportion in portrait and self-portrait drawing. Topics extend into sculpture, and include activities to assist students in their planning and consideration of the materials involved in art and design. Activities also encourage students to critically analyse different styles of work.
