Circle Portrait Project 2014 Course: Advanced Graphic Design & Illustration Grade Level: 10-12 Objective: Using graphic software, create unique faces by drawing circles of various sizes and colors, in order to give them a dynamic and 3D appearance. Process: Step 1 - Take a digital image of student with unique expression and print out for student in b/w or color. Step 2 - Open up any graphic software, create new document with black background.
