Studio 1: Self-Portraits

The Studio 1 class has spent the 3rd quarter diligently producing self-portraits. After studying three famous portrait artists - Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, and Chuck Close - the students were asked to create a self-portrait in the style of one of the artists. This year, Frida Kahlo was the most popular choice.

The requirements:

Vincent van Gogh: Create a self-portrait from a mirror. Utilize complimentary colors. Emphasize brushstrokes. Use paint. (Three of the four students tried their hands at oil paint for the first time!)

Frida Kahlo: Create a self-portrait from a mirror or from memory/imagination. Incorporate dreamlike or cultural imagery. Use paint.

Chuck Close: Create a self-portrait from a gridded photograph. Emphasize the grid. All mediums allowed.

The results are fantastic. Every students' portrait is featured below; they are a very talented class!
