Description
Invite a few art historians into your classroom! Derive inspiration from classical portrait paintings, Diego Velazquez’s La Infanta Margarita or Raphael’s Portrait of Baldassare Castiglione, as you explore the idea of self-portraiture with your students. A closer look at these works will reveal mathematical relationships and proper proportions that will inform your students as they render themselves.
