Introduction
This week is Art Week. Today, the focus is going to be people in art. Artists may choose to draw a self-portrait
or other people that have an importance to them, equally they may choose to draw someone they do not
know. There are lots of different techniques to drawing people’s faces and bodies. We are going to investigate
the different mediums (methods) artists use to create their artwork.
