About this School Project (5th Burton Inspired Self Portraits)
Student's looked at the art of filmmaker and animator Tim Burton and identified some common characteristics of his work. His characters often have big eyes, small noses and mouths, and thin and lanky necks and bodies. They also have dark around their eyes and pale skin. Students created a frame, then drew a portrait with those ideas in mind. They worked to draw hair as a shape and in a similar style to their own hair style. They drew a simple line drawing on grey paper, then used white and black charcoal to create some lighter and darker areas. These spooky portraits were so much fun!
