Technics 🎨

In art, we have been learning about street art and look at some artist. I think we have been learning this so we can learn new technics and different styles. Because of this, we ended up look at symbols and their meanings, we ended up having to create our own stencils or copied one off the internet and had a go at making a stencil. Because we couldn't use spray paint we had to find another way to make the effect of spray paint, so some of us used sponges and some used paintbrushes or a little squeezy bottle, I used the sponge. We did this for a few weeks and once everyone had done at least one then we moved on to learning something new that can help us with stencilling. We moved on to learning painting technics like blending, glaze, texture and monoprint we did this to make sure everyone had a little bit of an understanding of how to do some paint technics. If we had finished all four of those early then you were allowed to move on to looking an artist that we had previously looked and try and do a section of there art and incorporate the technics we had learnt and practised.

art

In art we are learning the basics of how to look at someone else work and draw what we see. 

Kulture

In art we have been learning how to create magazine page layouts and how we can incorporate what we have learnt over the last term into out pages. Over he past few week we were learning how to create leading lines and focal points into our work and how to make it all fit in with each other. At the start of this we had to create some layouts of what we wanted out page to look like or what we sort of wanted it to look like and then we had to go on to Adobe Illustrator and have a turn on that and create a page on that.

Our page that we done is nothing like the way we wanted it so we are going to change the whole thing. 

When we restart we are going to add some of our own art work instead of just having stuff off the internet. 

Something like this or this

Sonia Terk Delauney

Orphism art: Orphism is a type of abstract art form that uses bright colours.  

2 facts about Sonia Terk Delauney: 

1. Sonia Terk Delauney could speak 4 languages at the time she was 18. The languages she could speak were Russian, German, French and English.
2. when her husband Robert Delaunay died in 1941 she stopped making art for 10 years. She started to come back into the art around 1950.

Our learning outcome has been: To look at Sonia Terk Delauney and Orphism to develop an understanding about who and what this is. We have been doing this through linocut printmaking. We have also looked at the focal point and leading lines.

Our techniques have been: Drawing Terk Delauneys work and understand the context. We have had to do some thumbnail sketches with colour and annotation. Then we have to turn them into lino designs.

Evidence of this:

Michale Mew

In art, we were looking at Michale Mews artwork and how he would use his space and colours. When we were learning about him we had to make an artwork that was similar to his style and we had to use different textures from magazines. When making this we had to incorporate a bird into our work I decided to incorporate the Mohua bird into my work. I tried to make it the focal point put then when it was done I added coloured blocks in the background.  When I did this I wasn't too sure if that was the focal point or not so I think they are both focal points.






Once I was finished my work I took a photo of it and put it on an app called paint 3D.  On this app, I played around with the colours and the background and I decided to add a black background and this is the result I got. This come out better than I thought it would an I really like the end result of it.

shading and tone🎨🎨

In art, we have started to learn about shading and tone so that when we start our big project we will be able to add these techniques to our drawing to make them look more realistic. We are Learning the techniques required to make our ideas come alive; drawing with tone and proportion.

My drawing:

- Have you improved with shading?

I think I have improved with my shading 
- do you understand that using a structure can help you draw better (light loose lines under your work)? explain what this means to a reader.

Yes because you can get a better outcome/ better results. I think having a structure in art is important because if you were to draw the picture right away and push down hard on the pencil and it didn't look the way you wanted you would have to erase it out then you would have marks and indents on your paper.
- What are you going to work on going forward in pencil drawing in and out of class?

How dark I push my pencil/ how dark I make the lines.
