It\u2019s taken us a while but sometimes you can\u2019t rush a good job! \u00a0The children have all created beautiful self portraits in the style of a famous artist \u00a0that we found out about. \u00a0They were shown his work and we talked about how we could recreate it. \u00a0The children were given the choice of working with larger squares or smaller squares in true Chuck Close style. \u00a0We talked about drawing 2D shapes within each small square or taking the opportunity to make each small picture more personal to them and some chose to do a mixture. \u00a0We talked about the use of shading to make certain parts of their picture stand out and used black pen to make each portrait more visible than the shapes and squares. \u00a0When the pictures were complete, we looked at the colours used and they picked backing colours to help display them to their best advantage! \u00a0They will be displayed in our ICT Suite so please look out for them when you next visit.<\/p>\n
