November 29th-December 3rd

Self Portrait, 1889
Vincent van Gogh



The eighth graders continue to work diligently on their self-portrait grid projects. During each class period they analyze the values in the boxes of their photo grids, then they use different drawing pencils, blending tools, and kneaded erasers to create the exact value on their drawing paper. The results have been amazing! The students have shared that this has been the most realistic-looking drawing that they have created to date.
