Inspiring Leaders

As part of our inquiry into leadership we have been looking at inspiring leaders who changed the world by their strong attitudes and courageous actions. This included Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela, Sir Edmund Hillary, Gandhi, and Aung San Suu Kyi. Even though they faced many challenges they stayed strong to their beliefs and fought for what is right. We are thinking about us being leaders and the attitudes we need and actions we need to show as leaders. This is a couple of pieces of our word portrait art which describe the leaders.

Finding the Volume of a Cuboid


Pencil Portraits

 

Here are our awesome portraits. We did a lot of work on different shading techniques. Having contrast between light and dark makes a pencil portrait stand out and look 3D. We measured the facial features to get the right proportions. If you think these are great you should see the unscanned originals. Feel free to leave a comment about what you think.
