Level 1 Art, Term 3 Week 2 Update

Level 1 Art, Term 3 Week 2 Update

I am focusing on females and how things have changed (olden days vs modern days).
I like this theme because I can learn about the past and learn more about how things have changed.

My first art piece was of my great aunty (born 1934). This was actually the reason why I changed from doing wildlife enderangerment into olden days vs modern days. My artist inspiration is Sofia Minson and I decided to have flat, patterned backgrounds to incorporate her style into my art. I have also added gold to my art because it adds more dimension.

For my second art, I wanted to find something that I could add a flat background to. I found an image of a lady sitting on a stool but changed it to look more like it was taken in the past. I also like that instead of painting the woman I did a pencil drawing and painted the background. I changed the pattern on her dress to make it fit my theme more. For the background, I wanted something that had unique shapes and a pattern that I could add more than 1 colour to.

What wasn't working: My first theme that was wildlife endangerment. This didn't work because I struggled with coming up with ideas of what art to do.

What is working: I like doing the pencil sketch and then doing the flat background with paint.

What is my next step: Im going to try complete my second artwork by this week.

The ones with the hearts are the ones I have completed

First part to my second drawing of the woman on the stool

Final artwork of my great aunty

Im going to add one more coat of paint and then some gold foil and it will be finished
