__Pop Art Portraits/ charcoal and pastels__

 * Pop art style gives us a chance to simplify the features and give the portrait a "punch" of color. We looked carefully at the work of Maine artist [|Alex Katz] for inspiration. Then we took close up photos with a digital camera and printed them out as references. We created a "cutout filter" so that that value range within the face was made very obvious. The portraits were drawn on butcher paper with grey scale charcoal (black to white) and the background was done by using bright colored pastel chalk.**
