Unit 1: 'Looks like' vs 'Is like' 

Portraiture provides opportunities for expressing a wide range of ideas and feelings about the model, be it a self portrait, or a portrait of another member of our community. 

​

Key Concept:   Identity

Related concepts:   Genre, Representation

Global Context:   Identities and Relationships

​

Inquiry Questions:

(1) Factual: What technical skills enable accurate depiction of likeness?

(2) Conceptual: To what extent does the identity of the model for a portrait impact the artwork?

(3) Debatable: Is the perception of 'likeness' objective or subjective?
