Modigliani Inspired Portraits


Grade 4 compared the proper dimensions of a face with those in Modigliani's portraits. Then, they completed these chalk self-portraits. Some of the characteristics they noted were:
  • long faces
  • almond eyes high on the head
  • pursed lips
  • sad, lifeless colours (students decided they wanted to put a splash of colour in their work though! Nice choice, I think!)
  • long necks
  • narrow shoulders
