Here are some self portraits by my Painting class. Tempra on paper. We used Chuck Close's grid technique. Students enlarged 4X4 inch photos into 18x18 in paintings using a 16 square grid. I told them to work one grid-square at a time, upside down. I told them that they didn't have to match colors, but they did need to match shapes and values (shading) as accurately as they could. These 4 really demonstrates what a variety of personal styles kids will have, and yet they're very recognizable for who they're of.
