The annual Parker self-portrait project has begun for the middle school students. The students watched a video on how use different values and gray tones to give dimension to a face and then reviewed rule of thumb methods for placement and proportion for achieving their likeness. They worked from mirrors or photos, thinking about the shape of their face and trying to accurately locate and capture their features. They tried to put all these elements together to create an image that is recognizable as them.
