Portraits Inspired by Modigliani by 8th grade
These portraits are based on the artwork of Modigliani, an Italian figurative artist famous for his elongated style and the mask-like facial features of his subjects. I found this lesson on a blog called Deep Space Sparkle. Thanks!! We studied a bit about him and then the 8th grade took on the task of creating their likenesses in his style. They sketched it out, then used a layer oil pastel technique to color it in...

I was searching for articles on Modigliani's chalky "Fresco" style - the way he applies the paint and I came across these fantastic portraits - they capture the personality of the sitters so well. It's more than just a line or a style. If you want to become a painter, study well Modigliani and Picasso, two of the greats !
