IT'S ALL ABOUT THE SUBJECTS

3/4 VIEW CHARCOAL PORTRAITS

INTERMEDIATE 2-D ART

charcoal on paper

First the kids had to find great 3/4 views to work from,

 which they did.

Then they had to smear charcoal over the entire piece of paper,

 before erasing in their subject.

I feel like they really enjoyed this experience 

Really love the photo that senior Nathan Chong choose to work from.

He worked from the photograghs in Harry Lapow's Coney Island Beach People.

Our older generations have so much life in their faces and are wonderful subjects.

And Nathan's skill level makes this a really spectacular piece!

I'm getting so much pain and angst off of junior Elias Rodriguez's charcoal portrait.

I love when the kids take the time to find really great subjects to work from.

And then there is this amazing piece by junior Jonathon Hsu. 

Wherever do these kids find these pictures??    LOL

I'm so thrilled to show off these wonderful works by my boys in 2nd period.
