This helps show the character of the person and the connection they have to their home and where they live.

8. Portrait drawing Outline only We can see Robin’s artworks appear flat, graphic and cartoon like. This is because the colours she has used do not shift from light to dark. Today we will follow the flat and cartoon style of Robin White. We will first think about her artwork in a drawing sense. This painting by artist Richard Killeen he has painted colours that move from light to dark helping show depth – The rocks further back are darker than the rocks just behind this man. As we can see she has used no shading or fine detail. The entire drawing is made up of dark lines and curves showing the person and their character. On an A4 piece of paper draw in pencil a flat, graphic and cartoon style portrait of yourself. Start by drawing basic shapes like the drawing above and make them big. Thinking about my culture Try to personalise your portrait by adding elements of your culture. Use the ‘thinking about my culture sheet’ to help you. Remember this could include cultural costume, clothes or necklace. Something that tells us about the culture you belong to. Then think of a good background to draw. Remember Robin White painted and printed people in front of their house to help tell a story about the people she painted and the place they lived in. Another option for your background can include drawing a special part of town that you like. This could be a shop, building, statue, outdoor art, street sign, trees, gardens etc. Something that will help reflect your town or place. This background shows the war memorial located in Ōtāhuhu where Ben is from. There are many memorials in Auckland but only one like this, which makes it special for Ben.

9. Great job everyone. Your portraits help tell stories about you and the place you live in. Make sure to bring your drawings when you visit Te Tuhi as we will need them to create our own portrait paintings.

10. We look forward to having you all here End of lesson
