Super Hero Self Portraits

If you could Positively Impact the World, what would you do?

This project challenges you to think about your identity and who you could be to improve the life of someone else. After creating a profile as a super hero, you will make a realistic pencil drawing of one half of you and paint the superhero half. We will focus on value, proportion, and color mixing as our 3 technical skills.
