CHUCK CLOSE PORTRAIT
In this project students will work in increments to create a Portrait in the style of Artist Chuck Close. Extreme color theory will be studied to understand what colors look like next to each other and how to create skin tones using the primary colors. Students will also learn a "stylized" way of applying acrylic paint.
CONCENTRATION PORTFOLIOS
The Concentration portion of the Art Portfolio is one that defines the artist. Students in Studio Art will create a series of 8 works that all have a similar theme, style and medium. This portion of the portfolio is the most important because it requires all prior knowledge to determine their "style" and execute consistency throughout several works.
