    The passage discusses Leonardo da Vinci's expertise in facial proportions and techniques for realistic portraiture.

    Leonardo da Vinci is known as a Renaissance master who was skilled in various techniques including painting, sculpting, architecture, science, and engineering. He is especially famous for his painting of the Mona Lisa.

    Leonardo studied human anatomy and developed a technique called 'face mapping' to determine the precise proportions of the human face which allowed him to create very lifelike portraits.

    Leonardo da Vinci,

    Facial Proportion, and the Self-Portrait


    Objectives:
    Learn about Leonardo daVinici
    Facial Proportion
    Portraiture
    • This painting is probably
    the most famous portrait
    in the entire world!

    • It was painted by an artist


    named Leonardo da
    Vinci.

    • Leonardo was a master


    at making his paintings
    look like the person he
    was trying to paint.
    I hope you guessed…

    The Mona Lisa


    Leonardo Da Vinci
    • Leonardo once wrote,
    “Know the proportions
    in human beings and
    other animals and
    learn the forms of all
    things on the earth.
    The more you know,
    the better you will
    paint.”
    Leo’s Notebook
    • Leonardo was constantly
    taking notes about the world
    around him. He filled many
    notebooks with sketches of
    animals, people, and nature.

    • He took many measurements


    and was always trying to find
    a perfect balance so that his
    art had proportion.
    Another Drawing from Leo’s Notebook:
    What is Proportion?
    • Simply…
    – Proportion means that you make the parts fit well
    with each other.
    • More Specifically…
    – Proportion in art is the relationship between two or
    more elements.
    – When we talk about proportion in art works we are
    using comparing the size of one object in the
    artwork to the size of another related object in the Good Proportion
    artwork. You can also compare:
    • height, width and depth of the objects
    • size of one area to the size of another area
    • amount of space between two or more elements
    – Proportion is usually not even noticed until
    something is out of proportion. For example, if a
    person has a head larger than their entire body,
    then we would say that they were out of proportion.
    Out of Proportion
    Other works with excellent
    Proportion:
    The Self-Portrait:

    • Here’s a drawing
    Leonardo drew of
    himself as an old man.

    • A picture that an artist


    makes of him/herself is
    called a self-portrait.
    Face Mapping

    • Face Mapping is a technique used to set


    up the proportion of the features on a face.
    • By drawing lines that act
    as guides, you can figure
    out where parts go and
    how large they should be.

    • This will help make your


    face look more realistic.

    • With some practice,


    maybe you’ll be the next
    Leonardo da Vinci!
    Let’s Begin…by breaking the
    face down into simple shapes.

    (this is how you would start


    drawing anything complex)
    Olivia shows how easy it is!!!

    height, size and
    proportion.
