Art I Portrait Gallery
In Art I, students took on the challenge of painting self-portraits using a six-step color value scale, exploring the lightness and darkness of a single color. Working exclusively with primary colors, black, and white tempera paint, they carefully mixed their own value steps to create depth and contrast. The final portraits resulted in stunning, dynamic likenesses that demonstrate students' mastery of value, contrast, and precision. This project not only strengthened their painting skills but also encouraged a deeper understanding of color relationships. Well done to all our talented artists!
