Grid Value Portrait

WAL about the values in art -> how light or dark something is.
We were inspired by Chuck Close who made lots of grid value arts, he had a very unlucky childhood, his father died when Chuck was 11 and his mother developed breast cancer.

First we did a "thing" called taking a line for a walk which was when we did lots of squiggles making lots of circles and stuff like that than we added patterns in them by spreading the patterns apart or close together. We also made it look bigger or smaller depending on the size of the patterns.

Than we took a picture and printed them out black and white, after that we used our ruler to rule out squares on the picture which we would use on a enlarged paper.

The last part was we had to do was to think of some patterns or take a.k.a borrow some patterns from someone else to use for our pictures and we have to use it to fill some/lot's of squares with patterns forming a picture of the photo we took.

It was tricky to do the body parts like the eyes, ears and noes.
It was easy to put patterns in the blank spaces since there were no parts of the body in the way.
