8th graders just completed Kehinde Wiley inspired self-portraits. They did scaled drawings using a grid, shaded themselves in with pencil and painted a background using a specific color scheme. Then they took a some part of the background and made it overlap the pencil drawing so that it unified the overall design and added the principle of movement to their artwork.  These look fantastic in the photos but they are AMAZING in person.  These will be up outside the art room door on display for a few weeks.  Great job, 8th graders!
