Art 1: Self-Portraits

After studying Proportion, one of the principles of art, students drew a self portrait. Students' photographs were printed as a 5 x 7 print. Their paper was cut to 10 x 14. Students used 1" and 2" grids to transfer what they saw in their small photograph to larger drawing paper. Students did a great job of taking their time and drawing what they saw in their original photograph, square by square!

Art 2: Pointillism

Art 2 students recently studied Georges Suerat and Pointillism, the painting style Suerat is credited with inventing. After their study and exploration of the various forms of pointillism, students sketched their compositions and then used different sized pens and markers to add value. Each work was completed using only dots!
