What is a portrait?
A portrait is an image of a person. Usually of the face, sometimes of the whole body. 

Portraits can be painted, photographed or sculpted. Portraits can be realistic or not.
Amy Robins, 2011, drawing on paper,
Gloucester.

Slide 3 - Slide

Why do people make portraits?

Can you name any reasons?
Francoise Nielly, acrylic on canvas, 2013, Paris
Sometimes the reason to make a portrait of someone is very simple: 
to show the beauty of someone. When a loved one has died, a portrait is a good way to remember him or her. But even if someone is absent for a long time, a portrait can offer a solution. 

Slide 4 - Slide

Portraits throughout history
Artists used to work mainly on commission. Every wealthy person used to have a portrait made of himself. 

FUN FACT: Having a portrait made was expensive, but you could save costs if you only had a part of yourself portrayed. You had a 'knee piece', a 'bust', 'full-length' and 'half-length'.

First it was for the rich and famous. But the less skilled painters started making paintings of their friends, strangers and of themselves. This is how portraits changed throughout the centuries.
