Lesson design of the human head and its proportions. Lesson topic: The design of the human head and its main proportions

25.11.2020

For artists, man has always been and remains the main object of the image. In order to portray a person, to convey his true appearance, it is necessary to clearly understand the structure of the forms of the human body, the laws of their formation. In the work on the image of the human figure, the artist's faithful assistant is anatomy.

The section of anatomy that artists need is called plastic anatomy and studies what forms the external forms of the body - the skeleton, muscle and skin.

1. Proportions of a person's face.

The head, especially the face of a person, is the object of close attention in portrait art.

Many generations of artists have studied the proportions of the human body. In details, their conclusions differ from each other, but in general they are close. The proportions of the human body are as follows: the height of the head is 1/7 -1/8 of the entire height of a person

Now take a closer look at the proportions of a person's face.

The head is always individual in its structure and proportions for each person. Familiarity with the “averaged” scheme of the proportions of the human face will help to find and emphasize this individual in a particular person. It turns out that the horizontal line - the axis of the eyes - runs exactly at half the total height of the head, that is, everything above the eyes takes up as much space as what is below them. At first, this seems unlikely: it seems that the lower part, where the nose, mouth, chin are located, takes up much more space than the upper one, that is, the forehead and crown. But it only seems. The lower part of the face seems to be larger than the upper one because it is more "developed", more saturated with various details, while the upper one is devoid of them.

Having established that the line of the eyes runs exactly in the middle of the head, consider the placement of the rest of the details of the face. If the entire height of the head is taken as one, then it turns out that the crown will occupy 1/7 of this value, the forehead, nose and the distance from the nose to the lower point of the chin - 2/7 each. The line of the mouth is approximately 1/3 of this distance. This value - 1/7 of the height of the head - turns out to be a modulus for the width of the head. It fits in width 5 times. The distance between the eyes, as well as between the extreme points of the wings of the nose, the length of the eyes, the distance from the extreme points of the eyes to the extreme points of the temples is still one.

All the above measurements are, of course, schematic, approximate, and in life each person will have his own individual deviations from the considered scheme. Nevertheless, it will always be a good starting point when studying the specific features of each individual head.

2. Individual features of facial details.

Leonardo da Vinci, classifying the shape of the nose, divided them into “three varieties”: straight, concave (snub-nosed) and convex (hook-nosed) .. Front noses are also varied: both wide and narrow ...

The lips, like the eyes, are the most expressive parts of the face. They are very diverse in form, so it is necessary to capture and strive to convey their characteristic feature: their size, fullness; the lower lip can protrude strongly, and the upper one hangs over it, etc.

Of great importance is the chin elevation and especially the lower edge of the jaw, which forms the border with the neck.

During the classes

I. Organizational moment.

Checking students' readiness for the lesson.

II. Working on new material.

1. The message of the topic of the lesson. Goal setting.

In the last lesson, we began to study the topic “The image of a person is the main theme of art”, got acquainted with the history of the emergence of the genre - a portrait, types of portraits in terms of size and number of images, according to the technique of execution.

slide 1

Today in the lesson we will continue talking about the genre, get acquainted with the rules for depicting a human head, proportions.

slide 2

Jean Chardin said: “A brush, a hand and a palette are needed to paint, but the picture is not created by them at all.” How do you understand these words? What helps an artist to create a picture?

Children: The senses. Artists use colors, but paint with feelings.

2. Conversation with students on works of painting.

slide 3

I invite you to admire the paintings of artists V.A. Tropinin "Portrait of a son", Jean-Louis Veil "Portrait of a girl in a hat" (Portrait of Elizabeth Strogonova).

What can you say about the boy, the girl, how the artists portrayed them?

Try to describe their appearance, condition, inner world.

Student responses.

First student: I will tell about the girl. Now, if I had such an opportunity now, I would also order my portrait to some famous artist. Because the famous artist is of course a great master. I'm looking at the picture of a girl, and I really like it. She is probably 12-13 years old, like me. She lived a long time ago, but I have a feeling that I could talk to her, only I don’t know what about yet. This girl has such a gentle face, a barely perceptible smile, her hair is not disheveled, but looks so neat, as if she had an adult lady. And most importantly, she just has an unusual hat: with large brim and decorated with fresh flowers. That's very beautiful! A girl is dressed, her name is Liza, simply, but with great taste. It is clear that she is loved and taken care of. And the artist, look how finely he painted the lace! Just a piece of jewelry. I am sure that this young countess would never say a harsh word or offend her servants. I think she liked to read and walk in the garden. It can be seen that she is a well-mannered and very sweet girl. The artist is simply brilliant!

Second student: And I want to talk about the portrait, which depicts a boy. This is the son of the artist V.A. Tropinin. I think that the artist raised his son properly, because in the portrait he is a real tomboy. It seems to me that he seemed to have just returned from the yard, where he played with hunting dogs. Or from the forest. It seems to me so, because he is not dressed at home, but for walking, so as to frolic, run, jump. And the peeping snow-white shirt betrays that he belongs to the nobility. Slightly curly golden hair, a well-defined chin and olive eyes suggest the future beauty of an adult man. At the same time, I see that this boy has a thoughtful, confident look, he knows a lot for his age, as he is taught by home teachers. And I'm just sure that he does not turn up his nose and is friends with the serf boys, which makes his appearance much more attractive.

Teacher: Thanks guys for an interesting story. Let's think about the following questions.

slide 4

What does the artist strive for when depicting a person?

How does an artist manage to convey experiences, the inner world of a person, his condition, beauty? Do you think it's easy to draw a person?

What knowledge should an artist master in order to depict a person's face? (children's answers)

3. Message on the topic of the lesson. Teacher's story.

Teacher: For artists, man has always been and remains the main object of the image. In order to portray a person, to convey his true appearance, it is necessary to clearly understand the structure of the forms of the human body, the laws of their formation. In the work on the image of the human figure, the artist's faithful assistant is anatomy. Artists have recognized this truth for a long time. Many outstanding masters of the past studied anatomy, directly participating in surgical operations.

The section of anatomy that artists need is called plastic anatomy and studies what forms the external forms of the body - the skeleton, muscle and skin.

slide 6

When we admire perfect works of art, we are struck by the amazing harmony inherent in them, which is largely determined by such an aesthetic quality as the proportionality of the whole and the details. The word "proportion" in Latin means "correlation", "proportion".

Proportion is the harmonization of the form of a work of art, proportionality is its aesthetic quality.

The proportion of the parts forms the beauty of the form. All these properties are the basis of a competent drawing. In artistic practice, there is a well-known method for determining proportions, called sighting, and a comparison method. However, no mechanical methods for determining proportions can replace a developed eye. It is this ability that must be developed in oneself by training.

slide 6

The ideal proportions for the human head have been established, according to which it is divided horizontally from the crown of the head to the end of the chin into two equal parts by the line of the eye sockets. Each of these halves can, in turn, be divided into two equal parts: the upper one by the hair line, and the lower one by the base of the nose. It turns out four equal parts. The distance between the eyes is taken equal to the width of the wings of the nose (or eye). The distance from the eyebrows to the base of the nose determines the size of the ears. In reality, such ideal proportions are rarely found in people, but it is necessary to know them in order to see deviations from the norm and better understand the individual proportions of living nature.

Until the general shape of the head is solved, its proportions are not found, it is impossible to proceed to the finishing of details. Portrait resemblance depends largely on properly maintained general proportions.

It should be remembered that when determining proportions, it is better to compare the ratios of several parts in the figure with the ratios of the same parts in nature.

Teacher: Consider the individual features of the details of the face. Open albums with helper drawings.

The nature of the eyes, their landing are varied: there are eyes large and small, more or less convex; they can be planted so that their inner and outer corners are in a horizontal straight line; sometimes the inner corners are much lower than the outer ones, etc.

The lips, like the eyes, are the most expressive parts of the face. They are very diverse in form, so it is necessary to capture and strive to convey their characteristic feature: their size, fullness; the lower lip can protrude strongly, and the upper one hangs over it, etc.

Leonardo da Vinci, classifying the shape of the nose, divided them into "three varieties": straight, concave (snub-nosed) and convex (hook-nosed). The nature of the nostrils and wings of the nose in people is also not the same. The nostrils can be rounded or narrow, the wings of the nose can be flat, convex, short, elongated. Front noses are also varied: both wide and narrow.

Of great importance is the chin elevation and especially the lower edge of the jaw, which forms the border with the neck.

Physical education minute

  1. Exercise for training the muscles of the eyes: slowly look from right to left and back; repeat 8-10 times.
  2. Starting position - sitting on a chair, legs bent, feet parallel. Raise the heels simultaneously and alternately, spreading the feet to the sides.
  3. Starting position - standing. "Lock" - hold one hand behind the head, the second - behind the shoulder blades. “Saw” several times, changing the position of the hands.

III.Practical work.

Slide 7

(The order of drawing. Students draw on landscape sheets. The teacher draws on the blackboard with commentary, organizes observation of the location of parts of the face).

Teacher: The location of the parts on the face of each person is the same, but the shapes are different.

  1. Let's draw a rectangle 10 cm by 14 cm. Divide the rectangle in half horizontally and vertically (give the concepts: facial symmetry, the middle line is the line of the eyes).
  2. The head is egg-shaped. We draw in a rectangle.
  3. We divide the eye line into 5 equal parts. Draw the eyes with two arcuate lines.

The distance between the eyes is equal to the eye. We check.

  1. Draw the eyes: the eye has two pupils. One large is colored, and the other small is black. We paint over the pupils. So that the eyes are not bulging, cover the pupils with an eyelid.
  2. We draw the upper eyelid, on which the eyelashes are located. Eyelashes draw in the direction from the nose. We draw the lower eyelid. We draw eyelashes.
  3. Above the eyes are eyebrows, draw them. Create your own form. Let's paint them in the direction from the nose.
  4. We draw a nose. If you learn how to draw a nose, you will learn how to draw a person.

We divide the lower part of the head in half, draw a horizontal line - the line of the nose (tip). From the eyebrows we draw two parallel lines of the bridge of the nose, slightly diverging towards the tip of the nose. We draw the wings of the nose with arcuate lines. Arcuate lines draw the nostrils.

  1. We divide the part of the face from the line of the tip of the nose to the chin in half - the line of the mouth. The corners of the mouth are under the pupils. We draw lines from the pupils down. The shape of the lips is different. From the middle, draw the upper lip with two arcuate lines to the left and right. Draw the lower lip with an arcuate line. We paint over. The upper lip is darker, the lower lip is lighter, because. light shines on her.
  2. We draw lip folds.
  3. We draw ears. The ears are located between the lines of the bridge of the nose and the tip of the nose. We draw the ears closer to the head, draw the earlobe, mark the pits.
  4. Highlight with a soft pencil: eyebrows, eyelashes, pupil, nostrils, mouth line.
  5. We designate the face with an arched line. We draw hair. Create an image of a boy or girl.

During practical work, the teacher makes targeted rounds: 1) control of the organization of the workplace; 2) control of the correct implementation of work methods; 3) providing assistance to students experiencing difficulties; 4) control of the volume and quality of the work performed.

IV. Summary of the lesson.

1. Exhibition of student work. Discussion. Grade.

Teacher: Your work shows that today you have taken the first step in mastering the technique of depicting a person. And although not everything at once turned out quite clearly and proportionately, but only by trying, constantly sketching any individual facial features of people, you can learn how to correctly depict a person, achieve similarities in portraits.

2. Conversation with students about the portrait of E. Demidova, artist Robert Lefebvre.

Teacher: I thought for a long time, guys, how to finish our lesson. And finally, I decided to surprise you. I'm sure you'll be interested to see another portrait. Who do you think it is?

Slide 8

(children's answers)

Teacher: With difficulty, but I was able to find for you a portrait of Elizaveta Alexandrovna Stroganova already at the age of about 30 years. She married a very wealthy mine owner, Nikolai Nikitich Demidov. Let's take a closer look at both portraits - girls and ladies. Artists are different. This picture was painted by the French artist Robert Lefebvre in St. Petersburg. Do you think there are similarities? Why do you think so? What is the similarity?

(children's answers)

Teacher: The similarity, of course, is perceptible, it is undoubtedly in the expression of the face, in the look, in the turn of the head, in the posture. And of course, both portraits are not photographs - cold and glossy - but the work and soul of artists, and therefore they radiate warmth, beauty, tenderness, in fact, of one person, at different ages. Without a doubt, looking at these portraits is an aesthetic pleasure!

Slide 9

I would like to finish our lesson with a poem by A. Dementiev.

And isn't art so expensive,
What does not break the thread with the past,
Saying either happy or sad
About everything that is not given to forget?
And about how the artist suffered
Near the silent canvas
So that, overcoming the impossibility,
Beauty ascended to people.

V. Homework.

Prepare a message about facial expressions; perform an application on the image of the head with variously correlated details of the face (optional, an advanced level task).

II. Main part.

Learning new material.

1. Proportions of the human head.

Teacher: When we see a person - in life or in a picture, we first of all pay attention to his head. The head is the most expressive part of the human figure. The educational image of a human head is significantly different from a drawing, a portrait.

In order for us to learn how to draw a person, we need to learn the technique of drawing a head.

First, let's define the shape of the human head. Look at each other and say: what shape does a person's head have. (Oval or egg shape).

Now take a closer look at the proportions of the head and face of a person.

The head is always individual in its structure and proportions for each person. Familiarity with the “averaged” scheme of the proportions of the human face will help to find and emphasize this individual in a particular person. It turns out that the horizontal line - the axis of the eyes - runs exactly at half the total height of the head, that is, everything above the eyes takes up as much space as what is below them. At first, this seems unlikely: it seems that the lower part, where the nose, mouth, chin are located, takes up much more space than the upper one, that is, the forehead and crown. But it only seems. The lower part of the face seems to be larger than the upper one because it is more "developed", more saturated with various details, while the upper one is devoid of them.

Consider these proportions of the human head on the poster.

Fig. 1. Proportions of the human head.

No wonder they say that the eyes are the mirror of the soul. It is very important to correctly determine their place in the figure. The distance between the eyes is approximately equal to the length of the eye or the width of the nose. The nose of a person has the shape of a prism, we see its upper side. The mouth is in the middle between the base of the nose and the line of the chin. An important role is played by the shape of the cheekbones and whiskey. The ears are the same length as the distance from the eyebrows to the base of the nose.

All the above measurements are, of course, schematic, exemplary, and in life each person will have their own individual deviations from the considered scheme. Nevertheless, it will always be a good starting point when studying the specific features of each individual head.

2. Individual features of facial details.

teacher. Leonardo da Vinci, classifying the shape of the nose, divided them into (three varieties ": straight, concave (snub-nosed) and convex (hook-nosed). The nature of the nostrils and wings of the nose in people is also not the same. The nostrils can be rounded or narrow, the wings of the nose are flat, convex, short, elongated.Front noses are also varied: both wide and narrow...

The lighting of its surfaces depends on what type of nose a person has. So the surfaces facing the light source are illuminated more strongly, therefore, for example, a humpbacked nose with upper illumination will reflect more light with its upper part, a concave (snub-nosed) nose is more illuminated in the lower part.

The lips, like the eyes, are the most expressive parts of the face. They are very diverse in form, so it is necessary to capture and strive to convey their characteristic feature: their size, fullness; the lower lip can protrude strongly, and the upper one hangs over it, etc.

Of great importance is the chin elevation and especially the lower edge of the jaw, which forms the border with the neck.

The nature of the eyes, their landing are varied: there are eyes large and small, more or less convex; they can be planted so that their inner and outer corners are in a horizontal straight line; sometimes the inner corners are much lower than the outer ones, etc.


III. Knowledge update. Creative task.

Teacher. Today we will learn how to draw a portrait using the appliqué technique. First you need to cut out the shape of the human head, taking it in the correct proportions. It is not necessary to cut out the head of natural sizes in educational work, half of the A-4 sheet is enough. A person can keep his head straight or tilt it. In the application, it also makes sense to give a lively movement of the head relative to the neck. To make the head symmetrical, the sheet must be folded in half and cut out half of the oval, unfolding it - we get a whole oval. (All stages of work are demonstrated by the teacher). The fold is the middle line passing through the middle of the forehead, the middle of the base of the nose, lips and chin. It will help to correctly position the details of the face: nose, mouth, chin. Next, cut out the individual parts of the face in the appropriate scale. The paper should be different in color and texture. For greater clarity, the teacher demonstrates a dynamic model of a human head on which, using a magnetic board, cut out parts of the face are placed, taking into account the main proportions.

After that, students begin to work on their own. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that it is necessary to stick the details of the face on the shape of the head after all the details are cut out and the main composition of the portrait is formed.

Fizkultminutka.

1. Exercise for training the muscles of the eyes: slowly look from right to left and back; repeat 8-10 times.

2. Starting position - sitting on a chair, legs bent, feet parallel. Raise your heels at the same time and alternately,

spreading the feet to the sides.

3. Starting position - standing. "Zamochek" - lead one hand behind

head, the second - for the shoulder blades. "Saw" several times, changing the position of the hands.

IV.Independent work of students.

Conversation
When we see a person - in life or in a picture, we first of all pay attention to his head. The head is the most expressive part of the human figure. The educational image of a human head is significantly different from a drawing, a portrait.
In order for us to learn how to draw a person, we need to learn the technique of drawing a head. At the first stage of studying the drawing of the head, we will consider the head precisely as a spatial form, i.e. construction. It is known that all spatial forms are reduced to simple geometric bodies.
What shape is our head? (The head is rounded)
- And what does the head resemble in volume? (In volume, the head resembles an egg (ovoid)).
It is also important to know that our head consists of two parts - cranial and facial. Paying attention to the head of a person, we first of all pay attention to the face of a person and always exaggerate it in scale relative to the skull. Look closely at each other's faces. Note that the line of the eyes is approximately in the middle of the general outline of the head. The height of the forehead along the hairline and the height of the head to the crown, covered with hair, are practically equal. The lower parts of the head are also of equal proportions. Proportions are the proportions of the parts that make up the whole. Compliance with proportions in the image of the human head is most important (slide 2)
It is very important to correctly determine the place of the eyes in the drawing. The distance between the eyes is approximately equal to the length of the eye or the width of the nose. In no case should you reduce the distance between the eyes, this can lead to distortion of the depicted face. The human nose has the shape of a prism, we see its upper side, sides and lower base, where the nostrils are located. The mouth is in the middle between the base of the nose and the line of the chin. An important role is played by the shape of the cheekbones and whiskey. The length of the ears coincides with the distance from the eyebrows to the base of the nose (but we must remember that in life you can meet people with not very regular and proportional facial features, there will be external features of this person) (slide 3).
For the first time, ideas about the ideal proportions of a person appeared in Ancient Greece, since ancient Greek thinkers were looking for the ideal of any phenomenon. The sculptor Polykleitos (slide 4) created the famous treatise "Canon" on the proportional ratio of the human body. In this treatise, he paid great attention to the Pythagorean theory of the golden division. In ancient times, it was believed that the figure of a person was created on the basis of the provisions of Pythagoreanism, i.e. the whole length is to the greater part, as the greater is to the lesser. But the true canon of Polikleitos is his sculpture "Dorifor" - another name for "Spearman" (slide 5). The composition of the work is based on the principle of asymmetry, the whole figure expresses movement. As for the face, the distance from the chin to the crown in the statues of Polikleitos is 1/7, and from the eyes to the chin - 1/16, the height of the face is 1/10. The creation of Polykleitos was the first and perhaps the best example of ideal proportions.
Later, ideas about ideal proportions changed, but the interest of the masters in the doctrine of proportions and understanding of the plastic structure of a person still remained.
Creative task
Today we will learn to draw a person's face, observing all the rules and proportions. For work we need paper, a pencil.
If you look at a person's face from the front, we will notice that its width is about two-thirds of the height of the head. And if you look at it in profile, then the width will correspond to 7/8 of its height. The human head can be divided into four parts. The first part (the topmost) is the distance from the top of the head to the hairline. The second part is the distance from the hair to the eyes. The third part represents the eyes, ears and nose. The fourth part is the distance from the nose to the chin. All four parts are almost equal. The division of the head into parts will be correct if the face you are looking at is at the level of your eyes.
You should start drawing the face from the eyes. Note that the eyes are in the middle of the head. If you look at the face from the front, you will see that the distance between the eyes is equal to the distance from the edges of the face to the eyes. This distance is also equal to the width of the nose.
To depict the ears, you need to look at the face in profile. We will see that the ear is to the left of the vertical line, which can conditionally divide the head in half.
If you look at the face from the front, then the triangle of the nose starts from the middle of the head. If you look at the head in profile, then the eyes, nose and mouth fit into a rectangle.
In reality, ideal proportions are rarely found in people, but it is necessary to know them in order to see deviations from the norm and better understand the individual proportions of living nature (slide 6).
Try to get creative with this work. Do not forget about the basic rules of drawing, feel free to experiment, work with your soul!
Summing up the lesson
(Students showcase their work)
- What is a design?
– What is a proportion? What role does proportion play in depicting something?
- Who first presented the ideal proportions of a person?
