Intructions for P.J. #4
There are 4 parts to the 4th P.J.
Part 1: Essay on Chuck Close
You will write a 3 Page Research Essay/Paper
Summarize the article from the download (located above) or use your notes from the movie (link is below). Here are some questions to help you write your summary.
In your paper, write as if we were having a conversation. I don’t want a history paper (ex: don’t tell me when/where he was born) tell me why/how he makes art.
How are his works made? What is he looking for when he takes someone’s photograph?
Who influenced him as an artist?
Who is an artist he admires? Why?
What happened to him physically and how did that affect his paintings?
What grabs your attention in the work?
What is the work about?
What do you think Close is trying to say about his work?
Why do you think the artist created this work?
What have you seen or learned from this work that you might apply to your own artwork or your thinking?
Paste in 2 pieces of his art (I have images below)
· 1st piece must be a realistic portrait
· 2nd piece must be one of his more abstract works (where the grid becomes a part of the art)
· Tell me what the works are and how they are made (example: oil on canvas)
I will give you extra credit if you go to the art museum and stand next to his work and get your photo taken. (Don’t use flash)

Part 2: Self Portrait Grid Drawing
***see examples of student below***
Your Drawing must be the size of your whole DWB page
You are going to create a self portrait from the picture I took of you using the grid method
You will recreate the drawing in one of two techniques
1) Stipple
2) Crosshatch
You must use a fine tip ink pen to get an A on this assignment (you only get the higher points if your work is completed in the correct gradation technique)
How to Grid Out your picture:
-You are going to enlarge your portrait picture (the one I gave you)
-You are going to glue it into your DWB
-You are going to redraw the grid that is on top of your drawing in your DWB
-You will re-draw this grid with new dimensions
-Your new dimensions are 1.25inches x 1.25 inches
(there is a visual representation of how to do this in the PDF located at the top)
- Redraw only what is in each coordinating square
· Draw this first in a cartoon
· You only want to place point proportions (where a nose, where the eyes are…you give yourself an outline but no shading)
· Come back in and add gradation to your work using only stipple or crosshatch techniques.
