Portraits in the Northen Outlook

On Wednesday 16th June, David and I had our photo taken for the Northern Outlook. Two people from room fourteen and two from room fifteen had their photo taken with us. It hasn't been in the paper yet. I can't wait for it to come out! The artist we learned about was Chuck Close. He did photo realism. He became paralised and used his paint brush by strapping it on to his wrist. He had a little bit of movement left in his arm and he then did abstract by doing blobs. His paintings were big. When you walked into an art gallery with one of his paintings in it, it would look real. But when you walked closer you could see that he used blobs in his paintings all the time.
