Their task was to choose a great author and create a portrait. Most of the students were pretty terrified by this task when we began. They don't get to choose to be in the class, and several let me know that they never would have chosen to do an art class. So being asked to create a portrait was a tall order.\r\n The class began early with sketching and learning general proportions, and it was great to see that many students had some good skills. So we did some copying of famous portraits. We worked from life. Finally it was time to build the final portrait. \r\n Each student chose their author. A written proposal was assigned. This proposal described the plans for their unique portrait and included information on size, medium and any unique compositional elements. \r\n After the proposal was approved, they began on their portrait in their chosen medium. It was a delight to see the work build, and we held a critique to see all the portraits together after the due date. Our school has a massive art show at the end of the year, and amongst the nearly two thousand pieces of artwork, the portraits were a real gem. The frames that you provided made them spectacular, and the students loved learning to put their work into them and get them displayed.","fullyFundedDate":1745328119383,"projectUrl":"project/framing-9th-grade-art-portraits/9143320/","projectTitle":"Framing 9th Grade Art Portraits","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pope","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9935908"},{"teacherId":8826352,"projectId":9138104,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting TCA with microscopes.
