What is a portrait?!




> Experts give their answers (video)!
> Wikipedia article
> Portraits of men and women in Ukraine

To do (in pairs):
  1. Compare and contrast the two portraits above.
  2. Using the links above, and other sources you can find, plus your own ideas, define what a portrait is!
  3. Describe what the difference between a "headshot" and a portrait is.
  4. Describe what the difference between the snapshot of a person is and a portrait.
  5. > Which is your favourite "portrait of the month"? 
  6. > Do a self-portrait!
  7. In ten sentences, do a "Chinese portrait" of yourself, starting each sentence with "If I were..." (for example: "If I were a flower, I would be a rose"). Cf. > Chinese portraits... for inspiration.
