= = =//Welcome to Mrs. Geib's Faces Project!//=

This assignment will require a variety of disciplines: contour drawing, shading, patterns, symmetry, perseverance and patience. You will not rush on this art project but give it your best efforts, as it will be displayed online and in the classroom for the duration of the year.

Your faces project will occur in several steps:


 * 1) First, I will take a portrait digital image, convert it to black and white, and remove half of the image. You will practice shading and lines in the interim.
 * 2) Next, you will receive your image, in which it is your job to create a balanced image to complete the face. One way to do this is to draw the image with the paper upside down, so that you focus more on lines and depth of shading more than the whole.[[image:shading1.jpg align="right"]]
 * 3) Finally, you will create a word bank which includes all of the important aspects of your life: your home, your family and friends, hobbies, pets, school, extracurricular activities, etc. You will take those words and write them as you wish surrounding your face and acting as a frame. You may choose to have the words be different fonts and sizes for emphasis on certain aspects of your life, or the same size for consistency. All of the blank spaces should be filled.



If you are inclined, you may shade the words with a color of your choosing.

You might find inspiration in examples from the 2013-2014 students....!

Have fun with this project!
