Charcoal Self- Portraits

Students in 11th period drawing completed miniature self-portraits in charcoal before beginning on their final self-portraits. Students focused on looking for values throughout their face and using the charcoal to blend and shade these values. Don't they look fantastic?!

Rembrandt van Rijn and Vincent van Gogh both completed numerous studies of their own faces. To see their self-portraits check out these links.

Art is SWEET

In honor of Halloween, the Painting and Drawing classes each completed a "sweet" sketch. The painting classes used watercolors and painted m&ms from observation. The Drawing class drew oreo cookies from observation with the media of their choice. Both classes ate their subjects when their sketches were complete!
