Mozart: The Artist as a Young Man

For the last two weeks, my students have been focusing on observation in art class. The goal has been to represent and draw exactly what we see.

As a subject, we chose the famous portrait of Mozart as a young man.  Here are a few samples of my students' work.

I think that they did a fabulous job of representing the many aspects of Mozart's personality.  Of course, his wonderful music accompanied our artistic activities!

I'm so proud of these young people!
Proud, bright cheeks, stern, wise

Gentle, bright-eyed, youthful, in love?

Chubby and SUPER cute

Distinguished, thoughtful, planning some practical joke!
Distinguished, mischievous, loving son and brother

Stunning, refined, balanced - the classical beauty.
