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?)

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?)

STILL LIFE ART!!!!

W.L.A.T....

use proportion and draw an accurate outline....

Today in Tortara class with Mr. Pickard we learnt how to draw forks and spoons with accurate proportions for Art. How I drew my drawing was I picked out a spoon and then drew 4 lines on my peace of paper to show the proportions then I started to draw one peace of my spoon.

 How I came to drawing using this Technic was my teacher Mr. Pickard  showed my class some pitchers of his daughters drawings where she used these lines to help her with getting her proportions right and that's what inspired me to start using this Technic. 

While I was drawing I thought to myself this isn't that bad when you have lines to help with drawing your object and know the right size of the object that your drawing so you get it right the first time.

( QUESTION TIME: What type of Technic do use like to use when your drawing? )
