Because of COVID lockdown in 2019-20
we were unable to do 6th grade promotion portraits
I reached out those students to include them with 
this year's 6th graders 

How is the project created? 

Inspired by the portrait work of Pop Daddy Andy Warhol 

and Neo Pop/Graphic artist Shepard Fairey 

I take a close up portrait of each student

Using photoshop Stamp filter I transfer the color image

into a high contrast BW image

The BW image is copied onto clear overhead transparencies.

These are mounted to neon paper and the students build a 

colorful collage under the transparency.

The finishing touch is a one sentence, I will, I can,

I am statement, guided by the classroom teacher.

These are given to all the families at the promotion
