The first thing that grabbed my attention when I first watched this video was the phrase Chuck said while describing one of his pieces. He said that he only used 7 or so shades of gray to create that piece, and the piece looked extremely realistic and lifelike. I thought that must have taken great skill to complete something so detailed with very little variation. I also admired that he put his work in a public place, that is a subway station. I like how he isn't trying to limit the amount of people that have access to his work by putting it somewhere like a museum. Instead, he put it out in a place where everyone can enjoy and relate to the pieces, and feel included. The pieces all have an aspect to them that regular people can relate to in one way or another. For instance, one lady commented on how she admired the beauty of the women in the piece's hair. Overall, I really like how chuck is able to express himself in a way he enjoys, even with a disability.

I found this very interesting. It is known that regardless of Chuck close's disabilities he is still capable of making beautiful pieces. I Believe that his choice of medium is very suiting for Chuck's artistic choices. This is because Chuck close typically uses gridding so it is interesting to see how he works with mosaic which are just squares of color. I really loved the painting of his second wife. His use of different shades of mosaic color was very strategic as they perfectly encapsulated all of the details of her curly hair. I also found it very cool his choice of location to display his artwork. The idea of displaying his art in the subway is very smart. As in a museum there is a limited audience but when in a public space you can truly help the community with brightening up an experience they go through everyday.

The first thing that grabbed my attention is that Chuck drew self portraits that contain texture such as patterns,tiles, difference shades to show contrast in each portrait and show balance in the same time. What I really liked was how people showed love to his portraits and enthusiasm.Each portrait brings out different facial feature with true meaning and passion. What makes his portraits unique is that he made it by love which showed viewers his art elements. I really liked that the amount of texture he used which showed the portrait in different views. But the moment I saw these portraits I was in total shock from how beautiful the portraits turned out to be.

I really liked the images of how super realistic they look like and they look like pictures not piatinings. For each painting he used a different type of gridding for each image. And the most one that I liked was the one where he showed his second wife. It looked a image that was super identical to a picture. I love the shade gradient that he put was also really cool as well which makes the image even more realistic. One more thing that was a good idea that he put the images in a subway which is a common known location where everybody can look at it.

The first thing I noticed the use of different mediums. I think it really shows the level of experimentation an artist goes through. I admire that he chooses to create portraits of people that mean alot to him rather than random portraits of random people. When I saw the grey and white painting I was pretty impressed but once I found out that it was created only by using 7 shades of grey I was astonished. It shows the depth as well as the value he uses in his work. The use of mosaic tiles adds literal texture to the piece put also texture throughout the piece. The tiles also give a shine to the painting which makes it stand out a lot more. The tiles also bring out the highlights in the piece which I really like. It's truly amazing how even with the tiles he manages to create the patterns we use in his our paintings. Overall I love how he decided to put his artworks in a subway where people passing by everyday could just see it and "it makes there morning experience a lot better."

The first thing that really caught my eye is the use of ceramic tiles as the medium. After watching another video about his artwork in class, using a different medium, I was shocked at how great his pieces are. Although, this mosaic effect he created using the tiles is even more impressive. The tiles really bring out the highlights in the portraits; it gives a slight shine to the piece. It adds more texture and really brings out the different facial features and intensifies art elements. Another thing that, again, makes his paintings so unique is the gridding technique he uses. People who have a similar condition as him can also enjoy looking at his paintings. Seeing as these portraits are in a subway, their large size gets people to pay attention to them. It’s truly incredible how, even with tile, Close creates different patterns so we can identify the shadows from the highlights and the tints from the tones.

I really admire the length he goes to make it look realistic. I noticed he used different shapes in the different images, instead of just square gridding he also used oval and circular gridding which added an effect to the art. I noticed the details he put in the different shades of the same part like making certain parts a bit darker than others to make it look more realistic. I thought that when I saw the black and white painting I was impressed but when he said there were only seven shades of gray used I was simply blown away. I understand that sometimes less is more and with little amount of colours a masterpiece can be created if used correctly. But overall I appreciate the art that was made and the amazing work he does.

The first thing that caught my eye is how Chuck really looks and thinks about his pieces. He does not just draw random portraits of people, but portraits of people that mean to him. He also does not use the same medium to create his art, but he uses many different mediums, and also the way he texturizes his art is incredible. I really liked the way that he puts his art in subways so people that are passing by can admire his art and not just leave it in a museum. Even though the mediums he chose are timeless such as the mosaics and tiles, there is a piece of art that still looks timeless even though it is from 1905. The cool things about his art are the of size it, no matter what, you will still be able to realize that it is a portrait of a person. How detailed and different every piece is, how the reflection of the eye is made and everything is just amazing.

The first way that I reacted to this video was thinking "Wow, those look really amazing." I thought this for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I absolutely love the medium. The way that it stands up off of the wall a bit (with the texture) makes it creative and catch the eye. The fact that they are in a public place where so many people walk by means that the artist can actually feel appreciated because so many people will see their work. The way that the image seems different from different angles because of the mosaics is really cool to look at. Another thing I love about Chuck Closes's artwork is their size. If anything is smaller, people wouldn't have the time to stop and look, but as it is so large, anyone hurrying by can admire it. Chuck Close chooses to depict people he knows in his artworks, which I think is the kind of idea that could be inspiring to a lot of people. Overall, I think that his project of creating these mural artworks in a subway station is really amazing and will be there for a long time for people to enjoy.

I really like the paintings and find them really interesting. I also find it interesting how when you see the paintings you don't think much of it other than its a portrait. However, when you see it and analyze it closely you see realistic and great it is. I also like the blurriness affect and how it kind of looks blurry because that makes it more unique. Another thing I found cool about his work is how the paintings seem like they are close up and looking at you which makes the facial features more visible and clear. I like the idea of how he decided to put the paintings in a subway because that way a lot of people can see it and his work can be recognized, and also as he said it will last a long time in the subway like other paintings in subways.
