I decided to make a grid style portrait along with my students, even though I don't use grids in my personal art. They are fascinated and excited to see my image form on the canvas right before their eyes. I used a photo of Helena looking cross-eyed. Some of the grids on the canvas look darker than others because I am playing around with ideas on how to paint it.
My students will be using oil pastels on theirs because oil paint is just not practical in an elementary classroom. Mine, however, will be in oil paint. The grid will remain an integral part of the composition. Hopefully, it will look a little modern and 'hip' when I am done with it.
