Introduction to painting. High School Art

For our first painting, we went large with acrylics.
Objective: blending and working with analogous colors.

Monochromatic Self-Protrait High School

Same as the middle school, but using larger paper. I used a digital camera and shot an unusual angle of the students. Most didn't know why, but the object was for them to see themselves in a different way in addition to the obvious reasons such as developing skill and technique. This would be the first time ever that I will be teaching an entire semester in painting.

Monochromatic Self Portraits Middel School.

As always, I start off the each new class with a self-portrait assignment. Maybe one year, semester, trimester, quarter, I won't. But it is a good method for learning the names of students and see how they perceive themselves, skill level, craftsmanship, etc. This time we used acrylic paint on paper.
