Chuck Close Portrait Project Oliver Wolin '26 Paint
THROUGH THE GRADES Throughout Lower and Middle school, GDS students address identity and self-expression through portrait projects. Students engage in the creation of portraits in a process determined by their advancing skills and perceptual abilities. LMS visual arts teachers Geoff Byrne, Jennifer Heffernan, and Susan Mols structure each project according to the students’ appropriate developmental stage. Students study specific artists and their techniques, including Chuck Close and Ted Gordon, and use a wide variety of materials, including pencils, markers, paint, clay, and printing ink. With these materials students have created large-scale paintings, three dimensional clay heads, clay face tiles, and self-portraits carved and printed from linoleum.
