Arts-Visuels: Les portraits dans l'Art occidental

Introduce Western Portrait Art into your classroom. Tried and tested in my junior Immersion classes. -NO PREP!-

Perfect for distance and face-to-face learning.

Throughout the course of this project students are able to examine and analyze different European portraits of historical figures that were relevant both to France and to Quebec (New-France)- therefore adding a cultural and historical aspect to any French Immersion classroom.

After examining a series of 3 portraits (one of Marie-Antoinette, Jacques Cartier, and Napoléon Bonaparte) students will be given the opportunity to select the portrait of their choice to examine and analyse. Lastly, following guiding questions, students will have the opportunity to create their own portrait. In their portrait they will use colours, lines, shading, and symbols to represent their subject.

This task is a Visual Art task and a French writing task. It can be extended by having a class-wide portrait exhibition and having the students present their work of art.

In this package you will find:

• An introduction about portraits

• An opportunity to analyze a portrait of Marie-Antoinette, Jacques Cartier and Napoléon Bonaparte.

• Students have the opportunity to search up and analyze a portrait of their choice. There is a table with questions to guide student art analysis.

• Some reflection questions before students get started on creating their own portrait masterpiece + guidelines for their own portrait masterpiece.

• An evaluation rubric.
