Artist Rene Magritte. 1898-1967. |
The False Mirror by Artist Rene Magritte. 1929. |
Rene Magritte passed away in 1967. He was 69 years old.
Supplies Needed: paper, pencil, black marker, markers or crayons
I have posted photos of the steps, but I encourage you to read through the directions for any additional instruction or creative choices.
Step 1: Create an arc in the center of your paper. Make it large. This will be the top of the eye.
Step 2: Add a little bump to create the tear duct of the eye.
Step 3: Add an arc to create the bottom of the eye.
Step 4: Add a curved line above the eye to create the eyelid.
Step 5: Draw a curve line near the bottom of the eye to show the rim of the bottom eyelid.
Step 6: Draw 2 curved lines to create the iris in the eye.
Step 7: Draw a circle in the center of the eye to create the pupil.
Step 8: Outline the eye. Color the pupil black.
Step 9: Color around the outside of the eye. I used a skin colored crayon and a bit of brown. I looked at the Magritte's painting The False Mirror and blended the brown crayon to make darker areas to form the shadows.
Step 10: Using your imagination to draw whatever you want in the iris. This is completely up to you! Be CREATIVE. It can be a sunset or it could be a picture of you riding your bike. It could be a birthday party or dinosaurs hanging out by a volcano. I have posted a few more ideas that I found online. This is the best part. You get complete choice!
Step 11: Color your drawing.
