As part of our value unit we used grid portraits to familiarize students with the particulars of portraiture.
The boys drew Martin Luther King, while the girls drew Anne Frank.
This focus on drawing the details of the face: noses, ears, teeth, etc. really helps the students as they prepare for their own portraits. Students are generally less intimidated attempting another's face rather than their own, once introduced however, the students are far more comfortable in the work on their own portrait.
