White on Black Portrait

Objective
Students will be able to:
- Create original pieces using white colored pencil, black colored pencil, white chalk, and charcoal on black paper.

Requirements
1.  Concept (use your own image or mirror)

3.  Craftsmanship of Medium 
4.  Process
​5.  Reflection/ Artist's Statement

Process
1. Create a Value Scale using white charcoal on black paper.

2. Create the Practice Grid Drawing using a grid.

3. Choose reference to draw from. This can be a photo of yourself or from a mirror. The image must belong to you or you may get written permission from the owner of the image. Choose something with an interesting point-of-view.

4. Create thumbnails to practice composition. Think about using cropping and/or a different point-of-view to gain the viewers interest. Foreshortening is a good way to add interest.

5. Practice using media on black paper.

​6. Create pieces on 12" x 18" black paper. 
​
*During your process, remember to back away and turn your paper upside-down from your paper from time-to-time to check for correct proportions and values.
