Completed Value Portraits and Upcoming Watercolor

Students have turned in their value portraits, and are starting the last project of the semester- watercolor self portraits. For this project, students were randomly assigned a descriptive word such as frantic, elated, etc. Today they had time to take a "selfie" depicting that word. There was a focus on pose, camera angle, and framing. On Friday we will edit the images in the photo lab and prep them to transfer to watercolor paper.  The depiction will continue to hold importance in the artwork, as students will focus on color implications to continue their meaning in the portrait. Until Friday, we will get familiar with these color implications through analysis of advertisements and photography.

Before jumping ahead, here are some images of the finished value portraits. They turned out hilarious, realistic, and very nice!
