My first lesson with my 7th graders during student teaching at Holland Middles School. They were introduced to the Renaissance Period and discussed Michelangelo's ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. I had students recreate their own scaled self portrait through the use of the grid, much like Michelangelo used. Using white pastel on black paper, students then used chiaroscuro to create lights and darks for a 3 dimensional drawing!
This lesson was challenging, yet rewarding for the students, they made a value scale before adding value to their own portraits, to learn how to control the pressure while using the pastel.
