Create > Block Patterns Self Portrait
Goal: Break down a photographic image into geometric value/color patterns
Studio Activity:
Take a black and white photograph of yourself. Tape tracing paper marked in a 1/4” grid over the image. Study each segment of the photo carefully through transparent paper. In pencil, render each square with a solid gray tone that represents the average tonality of that square. Continue rendering all the component squares until the composition is complete.
*As an alternative, put your digital self-portrait into Pixlr Editor > http://apps.pixlr.com/editor/ or Sumo.fm > http://sumo.fm/#create go to > Filter > Pixelate and adjust accordingly. Print out the pixilated image as well as the original. Work the image as a matrix filling in the individual squares with patterns or solid values that equal the tonality of the pixilated image.
