ArtII Celebrity Paper Mosaic

After much hard work, here are the celebrity mosaics of my Art IIs this semester. I think next year, I will use a smaller format (these are 20x16inches)

Celebrity-Half Challenge

For this project my students had been practicing value for a while, and before we did a self-portrait I wanted them to practice on another face. I could not believe the results! This is  8th/9th graders. They were so proud of themselves, and I think they were excited to understand value. Each student picked a celebrity and I printed it out on an 8x10.  They had to fold it down the middle of the celebrity's face (not down the middle of the paper, due to head tilts, and unsquare photography). I may let them do this again!!

*some are repeats because the lighting was tough to capture all of the detail. Sometimes the flash would reflect off the heavy pencil.

Here are the mosaics my 9 th graders have been working on for almost 3 weeks...in between 12 snow days. Well the semester is over and as you can see...not done. A few of my students are coming in after school to finish, but I have been dying to post progress pics. A few are done.
