My visual literacy students have been kicking hind-end this fall. I have a bunch of hardworking and talented students this year. You should check out some of their blogs.

This week they did a new pixel pointillism drawing. We’ve been doing these drawings every year. I described the process in a previous post so I won’t go into the details here.

This time we did Rihanna. I guess I have a thing for troubled pop icons. I suppose we should have done Michael Jackson, but I felt he was too obvious. Part of the fun is passing out the different pixel squares and letting the puzzle take shape.

Also this week, we did some drawings with Illustrator. I had them do contour line drawings and also portraits using nothing but shape. Pretty amazing results, don’t you think?
