Chuck Close• American artist
• he began copying black-and-white photographs of a female nude in colour on to canvas
• Soon he abandoned this approach he began using a black-and-white palette
• Finding this subject too interesting, he turned to neutral, black-and-white head-and-shoulder photographs as models, which he again reproduced in large scale on canvas
• He incorporated every detail of the photograph and allowed himself no interpretative freedom

Option 1: Create a realisticdepiction of yourfigure
Option 2: Create an interpretation ofyour figure usingvarious lines andshapes
Steps:• Grid photograph
• Grid drawing paper
• Observe each square one at a time assessing the different value scale. – concentrate on the value of a square in the photograph and replicate the
value in the corresponding square on their drawing.– Those who are able to see the value will be most successful– NoteNote: you may want to practice different values on scrap paper
• As you work, study your work from a distance from time to time as you work.
Evaluation• Did you show an awareness and understanding of the work
of chuck Close?
• Can you describe the qualities in Chuck Close did you admire?
• Did you develop an understanding of scale and proportion by studying the work of chuck close?
• Did you successfully use the ruler to make a grid and enlarge a photograph to scale?
• Did you perceive value and reproduce that using line, texture and pattern?
• Did you develop contrast?
