Art - Design | Rāhine Monday 13th February

 Last week in Art (painting), our class were made to make mood boards from different artists for the kaupapa were focusing on. I chose concept art as my theme as I am interested in this path and would like to learn from this. 

In my mood board, the most common theme I have is the cyber-robotic theme as I am interested in this topic. I also mostly do fantasy drawings so creating cyber-like designs will help me branch out and have more flexibility in my abilities. 

This week, we were told to make thumbnail sketches and I chose an artwork from Jamie Ro who is a concept artist and Illustrator. 

English 2023

This year in English, what I want to get out of this class is that I want to be able to broaden and improve my writing skills and hope to get a University Entrance from this class. I also hope to improve my observational skills in this class and think more outside the box as I tend to only look into the obvious and not look too deep into things. I think this course will help me achieve my goals and I think it would be fun.

BOard 1

Last week in art, I finished three pieces for my folio 1. Unfortunately, I haven't started my board two but I have a single piece finished. 

 These are three of the pieces I will put on my board 1

I was inspired by horror comic covers for this piece.

Folio Board 1 update

I would like to work on the mirror more since it takes up space but it looks boring.

I have also been working on the top and the two squares for the past few weeks.

I would like to tweak the first digital painting I did since I do not like how the face looks. Everything else is okay though but this week I will be working on the landscapes. 

 

Impressionalism notes

 https://www.sothebys.com/en/art-movements/impressionism

•  A style developed in France during the mid to late 19th century 
• often termed the first movement in modern painting
• Artists applied new paint layers over wet paint layers which softened and blended the colors.
• The application added opaque dimensions of colour
• Japanese influence (ukiyo-e ) - figures are captured in a single moment and foreshortening

 These artists working outside instead of in a studio helped them capture the impression of light and instead of using black and grey in shadows, they used complementary colours. 

 My thoughts are that using colours that are other than black and white makes the painting pop out more and helps convey a brighter and less gloomy feeling making the artwork look like it's from another place that isn't earth. 

No.

I can implement impressionalism in my folio by blending layering paints over paint that is still wet. I also would try to attempt the lighting in impressionism  even though I struggle with lighting.
