Robert P. Taylor's: Chippery - Portraits on Paint Chips
Above are all the portrait chips, before anything was drawn upon them. Compared to its orientation in the final portrait, each is oriented arbitrarily, as when originally found on floor or wall. As Finding a Revelatory Orientation below illustrates, a portrait can only be drawn upon a chip, after the orientation which best suits that portrait is discerned. Then, as illustrated in Realizing the Portrait in the Chip, one can draw in the details of the final portrait. To enjoy this process yourself, pick one of the randomly oriented chips above for which you imagine you can see the rotation and details it might need to become a finished chip portrait. After using pencil and paper to sketch out your idea, click on the image above of the chip you have chosen, and compare Chippery's idea to yours. If you don't want to struggle with orientation but just to imagine which details should be drawn in, Final Orientations, Blank below presents all the chips above, still blank, but in the final orientation, that each assumes in its portrait. For that more limited task, review a blank chip, imagining the details that might complete it. Alternatively, if you want to know what I imagined, without seeing what I actually drew, compare the blank images above with the collection of names I gave them in Final Orientations, Blank but Titled, below. When you are ready to see the final details drawn onto a given image above or there, clicking on that image will display the final portrait.
