Arts Now Learning: Self Portraits With the Touch of a Finger [Pdf]

Curated by ACT

In this lesson, students will explore self-portraiture by looking at classical portrait paintings, such as Diego Velazquez's La Infanta Margarita or Raphael's Portrait of Baldassare Castiglione. A close look at these works reveals mathematical relationships and proper proportions that students can incorporate into their own self-portraits.
