You have chosen a particular artist to inspire this next painting.  Both are focused on PATTERN and both will be with tempera paint.  Take a close look at each of the following rubrics for how you will be graded for each.

For our next assignment, we will be turning a "selfie" into a cool gridded and patterned portrait.  We will be looking at the artist, Chuck Close for inspiration.  We will be using a mostly monochromatic color scheme, but use some analogous colors to get shades for the patterns we will create.  

Our first step will be to take a selfie and turn it into a posterized image using pixlr.com (See the steps below for more details!)

1. First, you will take a school appropriate selfie.  If you had not emailed it to yourself before class, you will need to either plug your device directly into the computer or save it to your edmodo backpack in order to retrieve your image. 
2. Next, you will upload or save your image to your number on the school computer. (This step is important!). (if you can't find your number, click on the search button at the bottom left of the screen and type in "this PC." then you should be able to find your student ID number to save your image.)
3. Then, you will open up pixlr.com (remember it doesn't work with google chrome.)
4. Once you are on pixlr.com, you may rewatch the video below to teach you how to manipulate your image below.  (Or click on this link for a larger view.)
5. If you did it right, it should look like the image above.
6. When you are finished, you should print a 4x6 of your image to the lab and turn it in to Mrs. Denison.

follow these directions:

Then, when you are ready to print, 
1.  open up your number
2. click on your edited photo
3.  click Share at the top of the window
4. click print
5.  click 4x6

​and print!

We are continuing with our Chuck Close inspired selfie paintings this week.  Check out some more work of his---unbelievable!!!  and in all sorts of media!   Can you guess what media he uses for the following images?
