1. A painting study on Non-objective, Abstract and Realism Portraiture

2. Definitions & examples from artists:

3. Pelvis, Georgia O’Keefe Jaqueline, Pablo PicassoPhil, Chuck Close

4.  Implement Abstract, Non-objective and Realism in portraiture  Utilize a repetition of shapes, overlapping, change in scale, with shapes entering/leaving the picture plane.  Use color relationships/Schemes  Create a flow across the entire work of art.

7. Begin With a Digital B&W Photo of yourself. Then……

8.  Logon to a computer using your school ID  Open Photoshop cs6  (Type it into the ‘search programs and files’ in the ‘Start’ menu  In Photoshop cs6 : See the teacher for the flash drive with images  File -Open-Removable Disk-Per __ (look for your period)  Use cropping tool & Crop to face (Neck & head/top of head/hair)  Image-Image Size-Width= 8.5 inches  File-Save As-Desktop-type in your name_color -Save  Image-Mode-Grayscale  Image-Auto Contrast (See other directions if this doesn’t work)  Filter-Filter Gallery-Artistic-Cut Out-Number of Levels- 8  Check to see if you have all your facial features; if not, cancel & see teacher; if so, OK  Image-Image Size- 8.5 inches  File-Save As-Desktop- Your name_Grayscale  GET TEACHER APPROVAL  File-Print-HP Laserjet 500  File-Exit-Log off

9.  Begin with a B&W digital image of yourself.  Manipulate image in Photoshop CS6 & Print  Follow directions for using Photoshop in previous slide  Identify & outline all sections of value with a fine- tipped sharpie  Number the sections from 1 (white) to 8 (black)  Use graphite paper to transfer image to tag board: Trace over all details outlined in sharpie

10.  Use the same B&W image from the Realistic step.  Use a different color marker & trace over general parts of your face  Generalize and Simplify the shapes  Trace onto the tagboard next to the Realistic portrait

11.  Use the same B&W image from the Realistic step.  Identify or choose one or two shapes that you like from your portrait.  Trace it onto the tagboard next to the Abstract portrait.  Re-draw & repeat the shapes is similar ways, larger, smaller, wider, taller etc. Overlap the shapes  Organize the shapes so that they repeat and flow behind the Realistic and Abstract portraits.  Draw lines to help divide the space behind it.

12.  Choose a color scheme: complementary, analogous, split-complement…  Plan where each color will be by labeling lightly in pencil on the tagboard  *Make sure that NO two adjoining sections are the same color.  Paint using tints and shades  No ‘Out-of-the-bottle” colors

13.  Create an 8 step value scale by painting ‘swatches’  Make flesh tones by mixing RYB + White  Add more white for highlights (1-2)  Add more red for cheeks, lips (3-4-5)  Add tiny amounts of black for shadows (6-7-8)  “Paint by Number”  Match the numbers written on the photo with your value scale. Adjust where needed

14. Notice that these examples used a different technique than the photoshop method. But, the idea is the same…..

28. Set. Go!
