Overall:
Hey Bloggers, this semester in art, we are focusing on NEGATIVE shapes. Negative shapes are the areas around the positive shapes. They can be described as the background. We will be painting a picture of ourselves, and we will also be being visited by a very special guest-called Auntie Sally!
Feb 6th
In Today art class, we had a very special visitor. Her name is Auntie Sally. She is an Aboriginal artist from the stolen geneartion. In todays art class, we watched her do a painting. This painting was of a landscape in Australia which had large boulders. Firstly, she painted the backround. She then worked over it with small dropper bottles to create dot work. Overall, her painting looked very effective and interesting. I enjoyed watching Auntie Sally paint, and I am hoping too see more of her atrwork next lesson!

Today in Art, we painted our backrounds for our negative shape images. We wll be having our phot taken, then we will draw all the negative space in, UPSIDE DOWN! I am looking forward to this because I think it will be a challenge! The colours we painted our backround a fiery red, a cool blue, and a black. I am looking forward for next lesson to start painting on them!

Today in Art, we ahd our photo taken for our negative space images. I had lots of fun thinking up the poses, however, i have decied to do one where m arm and foot is raised, and it is a side on image. I did this because I think that it will look effective! I am really looking forward to start painting on the backrounds of A3 cardboard! I am thinking I will choose the colour black for my backround!

Today in Art, I started to paint the backround of my negative image. I painted it a fiery orange red colour. I made this colour by mixing white, and a small amount of orange, red and yellow. It was important that I didnt mix white in with these colours first because otherwise it would take a lot of white to make the colour ligher.
25th March:
Today in art, Mrs Vincent was away, so we worked on a revision sheet. The revison sheet had 4 paintings, which we had to write what emotions were on the peoples face in the picture. This was revision towards our visual art test comming up next term.
26th March:
Today in art, we went to the computer rooms to work on our blogs. Mrs Vincent also taught us all about visual language, and body movement. We had to describe what we thought Mrs Vincent was like using visual language. When Mr Crawley walked in, we did the same thing too him!
