5th- Embellished Portraits with Victoria Villasana

For this project we will take a look at artist Victoria Villasana. She uses yarn and fabrics to embellish portraits of vintage photographs. "Embellish" means to make something more attractive by adding decorative details or features. We will use Google Drawings to create an embellished portrait in her style. Click on the link to take a look at some of her art examples, then take a look at my example of Adam Sandler. We will discuss how to use the Google drawing tools in class.
