8th/7th grade micrography portraits

7th and 8th grade girls learned about micrography, images made from text. Students learned about value (the lightness and darkness of an image) and learned to create value with text, either by adding variation of size, distance and font of text.  They also used decorative text in the background to describe themselves. Some of their descriptions are easy to read and some students made their words into a pattern-- see if you can read them all!
I am so impressed with these portraits, and I think you will be as well!

The many faces and colors of Bucktown

Students of Bucktown created a portrait mural in the first week of school. Each grade was assigned a color and to draw their portrait with a pattern in the background. These portraits look great individual but even more fabulous when put together
