Genesis 2:7 (NLT)
"Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person."

Art carries something that does not fade. It carries the mark of its creator...life has been breathed into it. Art is imbued with this life by its creator - in creating art, we imitate our Creator who first breathed life into us.

8th Grade Project: Value Unit 3 - Grid Portraits


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.
