I just noticed this never got posted!!!! Hence the date from waaaaaaayyyy back!!!!
After completing JCYF art and before starting HLSR art, the high school students learned a little about artist Chuck Close and worked on completing a self portrait in his style. This lesson was found HERE and I tweaked it a bit :) I can't take credit for originality!
After completing JCYF art and before starting HLSR art, the high school students learned a little about artist Chuck Close and worked on completing a self portrait in his style. This lesson was found HERE and I tweaked it a bit :) I can't take credit for originality!
I began by printing an 8x12 picture of each student. They then completed a contour drawing in sharpie on the photo and then traced it onto a clean sheet of paper. After drawing a 1" grid over their picture, the students added patterns in all 88 squares! Using a strict color scheme, students got to work and produced some pretty great portraits.
Here's the visual process . . .
And here are the finished products! Amazing!! Can you find your student?
Some created intricate patterns . . .
AND a few brave souls posed with their portraits :)
Thanks for checking in!
