 Chuck Close Portraits
Scale and Proportion
















Close makes these portraits so close-up and large, that the head is the only thing in the print. 

1.  If you could change these portraits to include other things, what would you add? 
2.  What would you take out? 
3.  Why would you make these changes?
4.  Close’s work is larger than life. How would they be different if they were very small? What size do you like better? Why? 
5.  How do you think Close created such large and realistic paintings?  Explain.
