Some of Chuck Close's health issues were that he had dyslexia as a young child and still has it today.
There's another health issue that he has and he called it the event where he was paralyzed and he was transferred to a wheelchair where he had to learn to paint again. He also suffered from a disease called Prosopagnosia. The definition for it is an inability to recognize the faces of familiar people, typically as a result of damage to the brain. He even admits to it today he said in an interview “you could come into my studio one day and I could take a full essay on you that day and ace it but the next day he wouldn't even remember that you came the next day”. He also said that if he looked closer to your face he would see a whole different
face. How he overcame those health issues is even with is paralyzation and he learned to paint with his wheelchair. He also overcame his dyslexia by drawing in small portions and symbols instead of drawing a whole picture of art. His paralyzation doesn't effect him in his daily life either. But he does get affected by his daily life with his an inability to recognize the faces of familiar people, typically as a result of damage to the brain. He is also affected every day by his dyslexia. How is this related to the process that we used for our portrait? Well we used the grid lines. We also worked in portions to get a better outcome. Chuck used pictures and we also used pictures to work from. Chuck used to focus on shadows and that was one of our main focuses on our project. Last is that we followed the grid one by one and that was something Chuck really focused on. The point of this project was to get you to know Chuck Close and how he is one of the most famous artist that's still alive to day and the struggles that he faced and still faces today.
