2. Value is...
(write in sketchbook)
• 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.
3. Value Scale?
(write in sketchbook)
• 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.
4. What is Shading?
(write in sketchbook)
1. Applying media more densely or with a
darker shade for darker areas and less densely
or with a lighter shade for lighter areas.
5. So, how do you shade?

12. 3. Stippling
• Dots used to create value
• the denser the spacing of the
dots, the darker the apparent
shade—or lighter, if the
pigment is lighter than the
surface.
• Draw example!
24. 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.

26. • 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
27. What is
Photorealism?
• Photorealism or Superrealism. In this style, artists in the
early 1970s created a link between representational
systems of painting and photography.
28. • 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.

31. •Think about other self-portraits you have seen.
•How is Close's painting like or different from the
other two self-portraits?
Text
Frida Kahlo-
Rembrandt Chuck Close
Self Portrait
32. • 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, Kiki 1993 Self-Portrait 2007
33. • 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.
34. Why did Close’s
style change?
Detail of Kiki
• 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

• His taekwondo instructor.
• He gave it to him as a gift
for his birthday.
• This was more difficult
because of the hands and
background.
