Monochromatic Portraits
Students in the art club painted monochromatic portraits. First, they began by choosing their portrait. Next, they applied a "posterize" filter to separate the values. They printed out a 5.5 x 7 inch portrait and then laid a 1 inch grid over the photocopy. They then doubled the size of the portrait and laid a 2 inch grid over a 11 x 14 canvas. After drawing the photo to the canvas, the students then chose a color to begin painting.
