Grade 5 - 3 grounds in any painting

The Three grounds -

Foreground - What you draw in the front - the face, the person, the main or primary focus of your picture. This is the most detailed part of your picture.

Middle ground - the mountains, the sea or anything you are adding to add value to the picture but is not the focus. Less detailed than the foreground.

Back ground - the last and back most part of your picture, usually the sky or blank space. Still needs to be given some thought as to which colour and shades.

GR 5 PYP Exhibition - Explorers - Steps to make a face

Portraiture

Steps - as we learnt in class

1. 2 finger space - Mark lightly two finger space from all four sides of the paper/canvas

2. 3 finger space - Mark lightly three finger space - starting from the two finger space line.

3. Draw a dashed line - lightly to joining the three finger space lines.

4. In the Dashed line rectangle - draw the shape of the face. Keep in mind that there are various face shapes and not just oval or circle.

5. Divide the face vertically into two halves. Measure if  necessary. Draw a line lightly.

6. Divide the face into three equal parts horizontally. Be careful not to divide the rectangle but just the face. This step is crucial - if the parts are not equal, the drawing will not be proportionate.

7. Now fill in each part . First part of the face - Forehead and Eyebrows.

8. Second part of the face - Eyes, Nose, Ears.
    Eyes - There are many eye shapes, please be detailed in your drawing.
    Nose - Three step - Nose line starts from the eyebrows (not the eyes). One big circle, two small.                Rub off help lines.
    Ears - There are many ear shapes, please be detailed in your drawing.

9. Third part - Upper lip, Mouth and Chin
   Mouth - There are different types of lips and teeth, be careful and detailed in your drawing.

10. Drawing face lines, wrinkles, cheek contours- Don't over do it, draw the main lines only

11. Add extra features like mustaches, beards,moles,etc

12. Draw the hair, keep in mind hairstyle and hair type are not the same for all men or women.
