ReplyDeleteChuck Close is an American photographer, a painter, and a photorealist
ReplyDeletewho was born is July 4 1940 in Monroe Washington. His techniques that relate to his brobdingnagian and massive scaled portraits is that he uses a grid over a canvas which is put over a photograph. Through this he colors in each coordinate cell by cell. His cellular format includes implementing colors against contradictory colors as a background method. Also his executions of regions of color are similar to pixels. LAst but not least, another fact about Chuck Close is that he has experienced paralysis and catastrophic spinal artery collapses.
The image is of Frida Kahlo. from 1926 until her death, she was a Mexican painter; Frida Kahlo created striking, often shocking, images that reflected her life. Kahlo was one of four daughters born to a Jewish father and a mother of Spanish and Mexican Indian descent, in the Mexico City suburb of Coyoacán.

ReplyDeletemichaelego painted the chapel. he paints really well. i can't believe that we're doing one of the paintings on the chapel.
ReplyDeleteMichelangelo was a painter, an architect, a sculptor, an engineer, as well as a poet. He is famous for the statue of David and the paintings on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. He was an artist of the Renaissance movement.
ReplyDeleteMichalangelo was the one who painted the picture that we (Period 7) is putting together. He also made the statue of Mary and Jesus.
ReplyDeleteThe lady from our grid is from the sistine chapel.Michelangelo painted the sistine chapel. I like his art.
ReplyDelete(March 6, 1475 – February 18, 1564) and his rival was Leonardo da Vinci.
ReplyDeleteperiod: 7
Michaelangelo is the mystery artist. He drew that lady, which is called the "Sistine Chapel" Michaelangelo was very detailed in the lady's facial features.
ReplyDeleteMichaelangelo was one of the greatest renaissance artists, and i think we pretty much know how amazing he is. but when we recreate this project, we will have to put alot of work and effort into it. just like Michaelangelo does with his work.
ReplyDeleteMichael Angelo uses his skills of proportion in a unique way to give multiple perspectives of his art to create a more complex way to look at his art. That is one of my most favorite things about his art.
ReplyDeletePeriod 3.
ReplyDeleteThis is a piece by Chuck Close. He included a photo of Philip Glass in his black and white series. Philip Glass is an American music composer who is widely acknowledged for bringing art music to the public. His music is frequently described as minimalist.
while looking at some of Chuck Close painting i was amazed to read that even though he was paralyzed he still continued to work on his life long passion, art. the ways he uses to make are amazing to for example he made a huge painting only using his fingerprints. to me this is a great inspiration showing that anything is possible in this world.
ReplyDeletehi
ReplyDeleteThe artwork, previously stated (multiple times) by others, is by Frida Kahlo. I am personally surprised we managed to do the grid that well.
ReplyDeleteThe shading of some of Frida's works are pretty good.
Oh yeah, I am Levi.
ReplyDeleteFrida Kahlo is one of my favorite artist because she dosen't just draw what she wants but what she feels and i like the bloody nature of some of her art.

ReplyDeleteFrida's life began and ended in Mexico City, in her home known as the Blue House. She gave her birthdate as July 7, 1910, but her birth certificate shows July 6, 1907. Frida claimed this so because she wanted the year of her birth to cooincide with the year of the outbreak of the Mexican revolution, because her life would begin with the birth of modern Mexico.

As almost everyone has said, it is amazing that Chuck Close, even though paralyzed, he was able to continue what he loved to do the most, art. Being paralyzed people would just say that they can't do anything and give up, but Chuck continued on.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised that he would make a small photograph into a huge one. Knowing that it would take a long time to finish it. I know that other people might just say, "Forget it. What a waste of my time." but Chuck, since he loved doing what he was doing, he just took his time without anyone pressuring him or telling him not to do it. I know that I wouldn't do that, but if it was a photograph that I loved I would be like,
"Give me paper! Give me paper! Hurry up I want to make this bigger!"
I'm for sure even though there is technology to make a drawing bigger he would still do it on paper.
I'm not THAT interested on his art mainly because I'm more into anime drawings, but making and anime drawing look realistic would be something interesting to do for me.
OH! one things is that I never noticed that people could do pics just by fingerprinting. I want to do that someday even though it looks easy to do I know that it would be hard.
Period 1

The artist is Andy warhol. He is a known leader of the pop art movement.
ReplyDeleteAndrew Warhola (August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987), more commonly known as Andy Warhol, was an American painter, printmaker, and filmmaker who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became famous worldwide for his work as a painter, avant-garde filmmaker, record producer, author, and public figure known for his membership in wildly diverse social circles that included bohemian street people, distinguished intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy aristocrats.
ReplyDeleteWarhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions, books, and feature and documentary films. He coined the widely used expression "15 minutes of fame." In his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, The Andy Warhol Museum exists in memory of his life and artwork.
Andy was an amazing artist who started a new movement called Pop Art. Not only was he creative, but he was a genius when it came to art.
Alex: I think that Andy Warhol's artwork is very interesting. I like the sureal feel that he has in all of his pieces.
ReplyDeleteKiran: I like the use of line variety because it really makes the piece POP out.
Jessica: I like his use of color because it really makes them pop and it illustrates his style.
Andrew Warhola was born on 6 August 1928 in Forest City, Pennsylvania, USA, a small town northeast of Scranton. In 1960, Warhol began to make his first paintings.

This is Phillips GLass in the painting and he is a famous composer he was painted in many other paintings. I dont know why
ReplyDeleteOur picture is of a painting by Michaelangelo that he painted on the Sistine Chapel. I think it is really cool that he was able to paint on the ceiling of a church for 4 years. I don't think i would be able to paint anything for that long especially if i was upside down or if i was forced to do it. I complement him on his patients and dedication.
ReplyDeleteOur 3rd period artist was Phillip Glass, he was a composer of the late 20th century, whose works wee sometimes called controversial. But despite what other people called them, he called his works unique, with great repetitive structure.
ReplyDeleteOur 3rd period portrait was Philip Glass, painted by Chuck Close. Chuck Close is friend of Philip Glass, who is a musician and composer, and has actually painted lots of portraits of him.
ReplyDeleteOur painting is by Michelangelo a famous Italian renaissance painter, sculptor and engineer. He was a big painter back in the day he is still famous.

ReplyDeleteMichelangelo the famous artist was born on March 6, 1475, at Caprese, in Tuscany, to Ludovico di Leonardo di Buonarotto Simoni and Francesca Neri.
ReplyDeleteWhen he was 13-years old he became an helper in the workshop of the painter Domenico Ghirlandaio.
Then he went to study at the sculpture school in the Medici gardens.he When he went to the Garden of San Marco, Michelangelo began to study human anatomy. Where he studied corpses.
Now, I know where he learned about corpses and how to draw them.
The prominent artist who produced the painting in our class is known as Michelangelo. He was a Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, poet, and engineer. His most well know works are Pietá, David, and the Sistine Chapel ceiling. He had knowledge on anatomy allowing him to produce his pieces of work with great detail and presents and anatomic components if the body. He also has produced thousands of sketches which are now available to the public. Michelangelo's adversary was Leonardo Da Vinci.
ReplyDelete(Ernesto Luna)
ReplyDeleteOur class portrait was created by Michelangelo. In my opinion what he created is a very good piece of art. The value and detail used makes it look like a very realistic piece. The woman actually looks real.
