6th graders are creating collage self- portraits. I took a picture of each of their faces and then went into photoshop and printed them out in black and white with a posterized filter over them. This way students could pick one color and create a value scale on their face. We learned about 
monochromatic color schemes. Students are focusing on using magazine clippings to block out the values on their face. I created an example of Mr. Glad for the students to get inspired by (I posted it at the bottom.) We looked at the work of Chuck Close and how he uses blocks of color to represent areas on the face. The students will choose a separate color for their background, preferably a complimentary color. So far,
they are doing a very nice job. I will post again when they are all finished!
