6th Grade Chuck Close Inspired Self Portraits

6th graders learned about the incredible artist, Chuck Close, and found inspiration in his style of art for their self portrait project. This was a time consuming project, but the enthusiastic 6th graders did such a phenomenal job!

For our project, students created their self portraits using grid drawing. In each grid box, students added different shapes and symbols. Students used color pencils to color in their portraits.

Check out their work:

Awesome job, 6th grade!
