WORKSHEET
MAKE A PORTRAIT OF SOMEONE
YOU KNOW
Brainstorm. Select a person who would be an interesting subject for a portrait. In the space
below, write a few words to describe his or her personality.
What would you like to communicate about the person to the viewer? Next, think about the
costume, expression, pose, and background that would best communicate this information.
Make a drawing, painting, or collage of the person.
Reflect. What did you find challenging, fun, or intriguing about making this portrait? If you
could do the portrait again, what would you do differently?
