Drawing with Photos

DP1 Lesson 13:
Scaling with the Grid Method

In this second lesson of the Drawing with Photos unit, we learn how to scale, or resize, images using the grid method. We practice using photo references responsibly to create an original artwork. The artwork is based on a small collage we create by combining multiple images, which will then be scaled to a larger drawing with the grid method. Our understanding and application of the grid method is informed by the artistic process of artists who have used the grid method to plan and scale images throughout art history.
