Computer Graphics Lesson

High School

Vector Portraits

In Computer Graphics, students created a self-portrait, a pet-trait, or a portrait of someone they love. Some of our focus artists included Nelly Camacho, Stanley Chow, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Juan Gris, Anghel Sann, and Dave Murray.


Students explored and implemented color, line, and shape to translate the personality and identity of the subject they chose to depict.

Focus Artist

Stanley Chow

It's all about Manchester for Stan. Born there, raised there, studied there, lives and works there. A club DJ, he started designing and illustrating flyers and posters for the venues he played and it all kicked off from there. Stanley has worked prolifically throughout the Design, Editorial and Advertising sectors and is a favorite regular visitor to CIA Towers.
