Art: Portraits

Last week you drew self-portraits. Today we like you to draw some more portraits. You can either:

1. Draw or paint a portrait of Florence Nightingale. There are some pictures of her attached to this blog for you to look. She often wore a black dress and a white head scarf or bonnet.

or

2. Make an abstract portrait. Watch Mrs Pring talk about Picasso’s abstract portraits: https://youtu.be/VPQmKSuwdGk.  Now make a portrait of someone using this style. A file with some facial features for you to colour is attached to this blog.
