Elementary Grade 2, January 31-February 11, 2011






Grade two students are continuing their unit on portraits. They started by drawing a self portrait looking closely at the shape of their faces, placement of their eyes and hair styles. Next they looked at the portraits painted by Julio Visquerra and used oil pastels and water color paints to create their own Visquerra inspired creations.

Who is Chuck Close? We will take an “up close” look at this artist and his portrait paintings. Then we will use some of his ideas to inspire our own compositions. Using tempera paint color and form will take on a new dimension.
