Green Man portrait.

Year 8 students learnt about basic facial proportions.

They used the myth of the Green Man as a vehicle
for the development of their practical skills.

The Green Man is an ancient symbol used
to express man's relationship with nature.

Students worked imaginatively, combining
self-portraits with open mouths and different types
of foliage to create a Green Man composition.

They worked tonally with blended oil pastels in
contrasting colours.
