Anthropomorphic Portraits
DeSimone, Jana
SchoolArts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, v112 n2 p19-21 Oct 2012
Sepia tones range from pale neutral cream, tan, and amber all the way to deep chocolate brown; some even have dark green undertones. Sepia tones are used primarily by photographers. Photographers opt to print their photos in sepia because of the warmer, almost old-fashioned look it has. Art is considered "anthropomorphic" when an object or an animal has human qualities. Often humorous, anthropomorphic characters have a unique and unexpected visual appeal. In this article, students create sepia anthropomorphic portraits. (Contains 1 online resource.)
