Abstract	Each school year, the author's intermediate art students look forward to this unique self-portrait assignment. Chuck Close's photorealistic portraits are the inspiration for this assignment. The lesson incorporates technology using digital cameras and an image-manipulation computer program. The lesson is introduced with a brief overview of Chuck Close and his portraits created using his grid technique. The completed self-portrait is a unique, abstracted, somewhat distorted view of the student. Similar to Chuck Close's paintings, the farther away the painting is viewed, the more focused it becomes. The closer the painting is viewed, the more abstract it appears and the grids are more apparent. (Contains 1 online resource.) (ERIC).
