This week’s student art of the week comes from junior Maddie Sullivan. She created a portrait of Harry Styles: the lead singer of the band One Direction.
If you don’t already know, One Direction is an English pop boy band that has recently hit the mainstream. They are most well known for their songs, “What Makes You Beautiful” and “Live While We’re Young.”
Maddie created this piece of art in her Art II class, taught by Mr. Wallisch. It was inspired by the style of American painter Chuck Close, known for his photo-realistic paintings. She started by drawing the portrait on a grid, then painting with acrylic paint. The portrait certainly highlights Styles’s happy-go-lucky smile, vibrant green eyes, and flamboyant brown hair.
