Value is...

• The appearance of lights and darks found in a work of art.

• These range from black to white with numerous shades of gray in between.


Value Scale?

• A value scale (or grayscale) shows the full tonal range of a color.

• You will be doing this later today!

• Using your pencil, try shading dark to light.

What is Shading?

1. Applying media more densely or with a darker shade for darker areas and less densely or with a lighter shade for lighter areas.

Chuck Close[American Photorealist Painter, born in 1940]

Project 6: Drawing Portraits using pencil! - Photorealism -


What is Photorealism?• Photorealism or Superrealism. In this style, artists in the

early 1970s created a link between representational systems of painting and photography.


• Photorealism--A style of painting in which an image is created in such exact detail that it looks like a photograph; uses everyday subject matter, and often is larger than life


•Photorealists frequently used a grid technique to enlarge a photograph and reduce each square to formal elements of design. Each grid was its own little work of art.

Chuck Close• Almost all of Close’s work is based on the use of a grid as an

underlying basis for the representation of an image.

•Think about other self-portraits you have seen.

•How is Close's painting like or different from the other two self-portraits?

Frida Kahlo- Self Portrait

Rembrandt

Chuck Close


•One difference is that Close worked from a photograph while the other artists may have looked in a mirror.

How are the “personalities” of these drawings different from Rembrandt and Kahlo’s portraits?

Chuck Close, Self-Portrait 2007Chuck Close, Kiki 1993


• Big Self-Portrait, in black and white, was the first of Close's mural-sized works painted from photographs.

• This painting took four months to complete.


• Close experienced a tragedy that subsequently influenced his painting style. In 1988, he had a spinal blood clot, which left him a quadriplegic, unable to move either his legs or his arms.

•With a paint brush clamped between his teeth, he developed a new way to paint. His portraits, the photos, and canvases were gridded off by assistants and then he used his mouth brush to paint, using the techniques of grisaille and pointillism within the grids

Why did Close’s style change?
