Van Goh🖌️🎨

 Kia Ora Readers!

This term in art we have been learning how to do impasto painting. One of our tasks was to research and answer questions about Van Goh. We had to go onto a google doc read the description about Van Goh and go on some websites to find answers to questions. For me it was a little bit tricky to find a answer to the third question because some people had different answers so I was a little confused. But I ended up using my answer I found. I hope you enjoy looking at the answers to the questions!

Answer the following questions and post these to your blog:

1. What does the word impasto mean? Look up the word in lexipedia.com, then type your answer here:

Impasto means the paintings that show paint strokes from pallet knives and brushes.

2. How can an impasto brushstrokes express emotions?

It expresses emotions from the texture and how the art looks.

3. Was Van Gogh one of the first painters to use impasto technique?

No, Van Gogh was not the first painter to use the impasto technique; it was Venetian Renaissance artists Titian and Tintoretto.

4. When you finish these questions use the information to create a post for your blog about these two paintings.

Improving Cartoon Watercolour art 💧 🎨

 Hello Readers! 

Today I decided I wanted to try improve my watercolour painting and drawing. I have been working on my cartoon watercolour paint as well as drawing. Since I wasn't happy with the some of my art I did last time I tried to re do them but use different drawings of them. The cartoon characters I did again to improve are Pan Pan, Grizz and Ice bear from "We Bare Bears." Also Gumball, Darwin and Anais from " The Amazing World Of Gumball." 

This task was not set for me but improving my water colouring is a goal I set for my self. For me this task was very fun because I like to do all sorts of different art. My favourite type of art is probably abstract and watercolour. Colouring the drawings was a little bit tricky for me because the drawings are kind of detailed. Drawing was easy for me and I love to draw and I have some skills. When I completed my art I was happy with it but I'm not really sure if I improved.

  Do you think I improved? 

Here is the art I tried to improve :

We Bare Bears Art

Gumball Art

Darwin and Anais Art

LESSON 3: WHAT CAN WE USE FOR WET MEDIA?

 Hello Readers!

This week for art I did one activity. I choose to do the wet media task, for this task you use supplies around your house to create colours with water. In the end I only actually found two things that created a colour/watercolour paint. They were coffee and food colouring. Some other things I tried to mix with water that didn't work was : cinnamon and the inside of tea bags.  After I created the mixtures I drew some drawing that were related to the mixture. The easiest part was making the mixture the hardest part was drawing.

Here is what I did:

Watercolour 💧 🎨 Flowers 💐 🌺🌻🌼🌹

Greetings Readers!

This term in art with Miss Keene our main focus for the first three weeks has been watercolour painting. We firstly learned the different techniques and ways of using watercolour to create art and  showed what the different techniques look like from a quizlet they are dilution, glazing, layering, value or tone, intensity, tint and movement. The next step we did was draw flowers and try to make them look realistic. Once we knew the different techniques and knew how to create flowers we created a draft of different flowers we can create. 

After we knew what type of flower we wanted to paint for our main painting we got a proper piece of watercolour paper and begun painting. I firstly painted one image of one group of similar flowers and  then made another painting with three different types of flowers. My work has changed alot since the first time I did my water colouring because I added different effects.  The quizlet and slides of drawing definitely helped me a lot. I hope you enjoyed my blog post.

Have you ever watercolour painted?

Here is my inspiration for my painting:
