11. Task Two
Have another go- this time focussing on
the PROPORTIONS of your face.
Each time you make a ‘mistake’…
Photograph it
Write down your mistake on a piece of
your coloured paper
Fix it (Try to do this independently if you
can).

12. Why will this help?
IDENTIFYING your mistakes and LEARNING
FROM THEM is really important.
Don’t just carry on regardless- identify it, fix
it, learn from it.
13. Task Two
Now that you have a sketch for your
portrait, how might you give it some pop
art flair?
What could you add?

15. Self Evaluation
On your post-it…
Did you identify and learn from
your mistakes?
How did this activity help you?
How have you improved?

16. Becoming the master!
Do you think that these
talented people
simply turned up to
win gold medals and
score amazing goals?
They practised for
hours and hours,
targeting areas of
weakness, learning to
use the times when
they didn’t win or
when they made
mistakes to learn and
improve.
Beckham practised his
free kicks over and over
again until he could
‘bend it like Beckham!’
Achieving learning
targets takes a long
time and lots of
practise-there is no easy
route to success.
It’s pointless practising the
bits of learning that you can
do well-target the areas that
you need to improve on and
find out the best tactics to
help you
Make your practise
purposeful!
17. Lesson Evaluation
Please fill in the lesson evaluation forms.
Be honest- I want to learn from this as
much as you!

Editor's Notes
Funnily enough, for most of us, after inane scribbles, come two distinctive dots. Eyes, like little raisins. Our way of making sense of the world- as eye contact is such an elemental piece of early life. Putting these two raisins down on a bit of paper is a real breakthrough for the early artist.
Next comes the head. Again, the eyes are often drawn first, with the head, often a huge ball with the eyes sitting somewhere near the top of the head. Again, as little people, we see these huge people (adults) and looking up we see their eyes at the top. Makes sense eh?
