Students are working diligently to recreate a portrait using words to create values. Students first chose a picture they would like to use for their project. The photo was edited in Photoshop to make it easier for students to break down individual values. Student's then traced a basic outline of their photos and drew a 1.25 in. grid over the line drawing. Students then used a larger piece of paper and increased their grid to 1.50 inches. By isolating each box on their smaller paper, students began to create a larger version of their line drawing. Once their larger line drawing was completed, students chose a word they felt best represented the person in their portrait. Students began to repeatedly write that word until they had the correct value in each section of their drawing. It's a work in progress!
Students used reference images from the web and tried to copy the images in their sketchbooks. This exercise was meant to show students the difference between LINE and VALUE. In this exercise, they would use VALUE to define the edges of a shape, rather than line. Students were asked to include the entire range of values in their drawings and to use the drawing pencils when creating those values.
