We have been working on a "Posterized" photograph of ourselves. First, we get photos taken in front of a blank screen on the smartboard. The white background and bright light from the projector are a great quick photo studio. I print them up and students go over the edges of the value shapes with pen. We then take them to a window, and transfer the lines to a new sheet of paper. (I also photocopied their drawings 4 times to extend the project into a pop art piece (more on that later)) Then we paint in the image using the original as a guide. Working from black (pure color) to light and white. Pick a contrasting color for the background.
Here is another art teacher who has produced a project just like this one....
