Art Evaluation (year10) :: essays research papers

Art book evaluation(Year 10)This year we have been studying natural forms, this has involved using legion(predicate) sweet-fashi adeptd and different materials and techniques.Firstly we st machinati iodind by looking at art by Georgia Okeefe who mainly painted abstract flowers this was a new style for me as I have never act drawing in abstract style before, after this we did two paintings in acrylics one of shells and one piece of corn and around the edge of the paintings I then collaged in the background. This was a new way of doing backgrounds for me, as I have never tried using painting and colaging together. We have also tried a picture of natural objects with pastels then used chalk to make a grey background. I didnt really like the results of the chalk background because it was so dull. Then we did a picture of fruits in pencils and shaded them this piece was very similar to the pictures I make of fruits later in my book one in watercolour pencils and one I collaged. I wa s very cheery with my picture in watercolour pencils scarcely the collage didnt turn out to well. After this I made a page of leaves drawn in 2 styles two in pencils and two in rubbings. I was pleased with the leaves done in pencil but the rubbings didnt look that nice as you can only get a single colour and no shading. Next continuing with the vegetation theme I made a picture of Monets water lilies. I was pleased with this as it allowed me to experiment with pastels and enabled me to create a strong colourful picture. Next we made a copy of a picture of Jesus on the underwrite in acrylic this painting was done by Gauguin. This enabled me to experiment with a new style of painting with its simple lines and bright colours. The next piece of art is the piece that Im happiest with out of my entire book. It was a copy of a print of black and white natural objects shaded with dots and lines. This was a completely new style of shading for me and it is one that I like a lot. Then I sta rted developing my final art piece for the year I took a section of my garden and drew and shaded it in black pen after this I did 2 or 3 more pictures of this section of my garden one in pencil one in collage and one in acrylic.
