Abstract Art

W.A.L.T  
Find an artists style or an image you like and copy it.

Today in Tortara class we have been doing a lot of different styles of art like Still life, Jim Dine and M.C Escher but this is probably one of my favourites.

1. We had to Find an artists image that we liked.

2. Next we had to copy it onto our Pieces of paper.

3. Then we had to take a photo of our pieces of art and post them up on our blogs.

I really enjoyed creating this piece of art and hope Mr. Pickard
will let us do some more similar pieces of art during the term.

Something I could work on was trying not to rush my work when I get too exited.

(Question FOR EVERYONE: Who is your favourite artist?)

MY ESCHER ART!!!!!!

W.A.L.T 

Create an fantastic Geometric art of M.C. Escher.

Today in Totara class we created art in the style of M.C Escher 

1. We had to watch some videos about M.C Escher.

2. Then we had to make a stencil to trace around out of card.

3. Next we had to trace the out line of our stencils on our paper.

4. After we had to draw different designs to fill in the blank space.

5. Finally we had to go over all the lines in vivid and colour it in.

I really enjoyed doing this style of art but I think next time I could use a different type of design for in the plank space were I have used diagonal lines.

Links to the other videos I used Tesselation Rules

 Make a tessellation 1           Make a tesselation 2

(QUESTION: What type of design would you use on your M.C Escher art? )

Photography Activity

W.A.L.T To Learn the different types of Camera shots 

 Today we learnt the different types of camera shots in our 

cyber smart lesson with Whaea Donna.

1. We had to take photos of our self and our partner. 

2. Then we had to insert our images on to our slides.

3. Next we had to explain the purpose of the photos we took.

For this Activity I worked with Lexi because we had to work in a group of two, It was much easier to work in a group of two because there could be one person to take the photo and one to pose for the picture.

I really enjoyed this activity and can't wait to do more photography

work with Whaea Donna. But one thing me and Lexi could have worked on was our lighting in our photos.

(Question: What type of style of photography do you prefer to use?)

JIm Dine Charcoal Art

 W.A.L.T Draw a tool in the style of Jim Dine. 

Today In Tortara class we've been drawing in the style of Jim Dine shown on my picture I drew two paint brushes one on top of the other  with a shadow made from charcoal. 

One of my favourite ways of using charcoal is for an objects shadow I think it gives the piece of art more depth in steed of there being just an object sitting on the page. 

I think I could work on my shading with charcoal so that it doesn't look like a black blob thing on the paper. 

I really enjoyed using the charcoal to make my piece of art.

(Question FOR EVERYONE: What do you like to use charcoal for when your doing art?)

Screencastify

W.A.L.T : Planning a screencastify on how to attribute an image off google, how to use explore and the difference between the two.

How to attribute an image :

1. you need to search up an image in the search bar and press enter next you click on tools which is
under the search bar then you click on labelled for reuse and select an image there should be an image
that says visit beside it once you click o n it it should take you to a site  that shows the Author's name
source and licence.

How to get an image of Explore:

2. To get an image off explore you first you go to the bottom right hand corner and click on the little box with a star in the middle next you type in what image you want and click enter once you have an image you would like to insert on your page there should be a plus sign on the top right hand corner of your selected image click that and your image will be inserted on to your page.

The difference Between Google image and Explore images:

3. The difference between getting images off Explore and getting images off Google is that when you get images off google you need to search up the attributes so that you know if you can use the image or not but with using Explore you just have to insert the image without looking up the attribute.

I liked that that There was two different versions of inserting images into my work. and finding out how not to get copy write by the owner of the image I think that maybe next time I could find other ways to insert images onto my work I would love to hear your methods of inserting images.

(Question Time: Which one of these methods would you use to insert images on to your doc....ext ?)
