The 7th graders are working on their Portraits in the style of Chuck Close. They learned how to enlarge an image in math last year using a grid and we revisit that technique so they can enlarge their photos. They draw themselves going square by square and next week they will start to paint in the squares. They need to choose a color palette that is either complimentary, warm and cool or analogous colors and they are required to choose one area of their image to fill the squares in with a pattern.

| Chuck Close working on his large scale paintings. Here are some works in progress and a partially finished portrait from a couple of years ago. |
The results for this project are usually very good and students learn a lot about drawing and color.
