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!
