| Source Imagery |
To begin with, students took turns photographing each other to get the original source imagery of ourselves. The rendering proved to be more difficult than I thought it was going to be due to the fact that the goal was to use simple shapes, yet still create a recognizable form. I wanted to make each rendering asymmetrical to create a layer of interest. However, looking back, I definitely found myself responding more to the figure on the left due to the shape that created a highlight in what would be the "hair."
When it came to color, students were advised to chose high intensity colors that the eye could really respond to when creating the key. The goal was to chose a color and then be able to chose five to seven other intense colors that could recreate the first color though stippling.

| Initial Rendering |
The color and amount all come into play when creating the color assimilation. I made sure to use the color with the highest quantity for the initial background wash. Then I worked to carefully integrate the "funky" colors into the more pronounced, higher-quantity colors. This was time-consuming, but therapeutic in a way. It also worked to show me how stippling can create a deeper color that is greater than the original because of all the different hues that it is made of. In regards to the color shapes, I didn't want the background to blend in with the figure.
Therefore, I chose those areas to be collaged to help push the figure forward. I switched the collage colors to feature the blue in the figure on the right to be in the background on the left and vise versa. In regards to a painting the other shapes, I worked with complementary colors to create a hard edge between the shapes to help push the abstraction quality. Abstraction can be done through color discord so it was fun to purposely push the boundaries of color while experimenting with stippling for the first time.
