Chose one of the following colored pencils: Red, Blue, Green, Purple or Orange and create a value scale in that color as well as a sphere with a cast shadow. Submit this bellwork assignment in Schoology for this week when completed.

Students will draw a self portrait in the style using the grid method. In each box of the grid students will use a range of monochromatic values.

Materials

• White drawing paper 10x10 • 5x5 Photograph
• Pencils, Rulers, Erasers
• Colored Pencils

I CAN:

• Learn about the artist Chuck Close (who made the grid method famous)
• Photograph myself in a square format and apply a black and white filter and add to Pages Template
• Use a pencil and ruler to create a 2in grid over my drawing paper
• Use a grid method to enlarge my 5x5 photo into 10x10 drawing
• Apply my understanding of shading and layering colored pencils to create monochromatic values in each block of my grid
• Use colored pencils to develop values and contour in my self portrait through close observation

I CAN:

• Learn about Chuck Close
• Take a "selfie" and place it in the pages template
• Create the grid for my drawing

If you complete all of this, consider your color scheme

You will get an 11x11 piece of paper

One inch of that is for your key (1,2,3,4,5 & A,B,C,D,E)

Every other box is 2 inches

It doubles your 5x5 photo to make a 10x10 drawing

TAKE A SQUARE SELFIE...YOU CAN MAKE IT BLACK AND WHITE TO SEE VALUES EASIER.

YOU WILL PUT THIS IN THE PAGES TEMPLATE.

• Take a SQUARE format selfie, edit contrast as you would like
  
• Put this photo into the pages template and make sure the grid is over it.

EVERYONE UPLOADS TO THE PHOTO ASSIGNMENT IN THE GRID DRAWING SELF PORTRAIT IN SCHOOLOGY (This is a sketchbook grade)

If you need help on making the grid, here is a link to the video I showed in class.

Grid drawing will work as a method to enlarge an image as well. We will be going from 1 inch squares to 2 inch squares.

Practice layering colored pencil in the color scheme you are working with

(monochromatic)

I CAN:

• Create a line drawing (lightly in pencil) of my photo
• Closely study each box and match shapes and proportion before starting with color
• Use MONOCHROMATIC Values in each box
• Draw each box to correspond with the photo grid (box by box)

We will focus on each box and notice all the values, shapes, contours and details in each box to create our self portrait. We will be doing a monochromatic color in each box. Consider a color scheme you may want to use (warm, cool, ROYGBIV, Primary, Secondary)

Pay attention to your corresponding boxes. And start using Monochromatic Color.

One color and the tints and shades of that color. Which means you can add black and white and use the dark and light versions of the color.

Move from box to box, using different monochromatic colors.

• A 10x10 grid with 1 inch "key"
  
• Monochromatic colors in each box
  
• Attention to value shifts
  
• Drawing matched to the photo (box by box)
