Description
Students chose an image that described themselves and created 2 copies digitally, one color, and one in black and white. They deconstructed the color and added to the black and white image to create pops of color. They gridded, transferred and enlarged the image using mathematical proportions. They shaded and blended colors using pencils, colored pencils and acrylic paint.
