==== **1.1** In the week of 15th -19th January, you will be learning the definition and types of (self)portrait, as an expressive way to reflect oneself through art history. Besides, you will be expected to take part in an interview with friends/parents and to conduct a narrative writing to show your self-awareness on personality for the preparation of your self-portrait drawing. Home research and analysis on various artists' works will be required too to reflect your understanding of the topic and subject knowledge. You must have your Developmental Workbook in the classes. ====

Then you need to produce TWO self-portrait drawings through use of 1) **Charcoals** and 2) **Color pastels** for artistic expression. Focus will be placed on **color application, line expressiveness and proportion**. Beforehand you will have scheduled sketching practices in class and at home. Continuous work evaluation and feedback is highly expected to demonstrate your critical and analytical thinking skills in the provided experiments and final piece of works. Peer evaluation is also expected to show your awareness of learning.====
