Portraits are pictures which are made to celebrate and remember special or important people. Portraits can be paintings, photos, drawings or sculptures. We learnt how to draw realistic faces and then made portraits of people who are special to us using water colour pencils on paper. We planned the backgrounds of our portraits to show how and why these people are so special to us.

Artist: Brendon My dad is special to me because he is the one that usually takes me to the movies, golfing and fishing. I chose to make it like this because my dad is a fire fighter and he likes to hunt in the bush and fish in rivers, lakes or seas, especially in our home country, Canada. |
