Our next project is a portrait piece where students will be drawing their profiles in two styles. One is based on the photorealism style of Chuck Close. We watched a short video about the artist, and viewed many examples of his amazing portraits. The other will be symbolic in imagery, and should represent who students are on the inside.
Students use the grid technique that Chuck Close uses to attain the highest degree of realism. This technique requires a great amount of focus to observe all the miniscule details that make up a face.
Check back soon for in-progress photos!!
