Students will embark on a 'Portrait Emotion Hunt,' analyzing famous portraits to identify emotions depicted, while exploring the impact of different mediums on emotional interpretation and recording their findings, thereby laying the foundation for their own grid portrait projects.

Students will define the problem by identifying and articulating the emotions and meanings they wish to convey in their grid portrait using the feedback received on their facial feature drawings, alongside vocabulary related to artistic mediums and color theory.

Students will experiment and explore different artistic mediums to convey emotion in their grid portraits, engaging in peer feedback and reflection to refine their ideas with art vocabulary terms and prepare for the next phase of creating their final product.

Students will independently work on their grid portraits using various artistic mediums, applying art vocabulary and color theory to make intentional choices, preparing their work for peer critique and reflection.

Students will participate in a gallery walk to gather and provide feedback on each other's grid portraits, reflect on the emotional impact and meaning conveyed through their chosen mediums in their journals, using structured prompts to guide peer critiques and incorporating insights for final refinement.
