My favourite art paint

 

This is one of my favorite paint I have ever done because it has an illusion thing with it which is when you flip it at 180 degrees you will see that it is actually the person that looked at the side view where I ended up putting it with different colors onto it such as the nose would supposedly look like a mountain, the eyes would be the boat and the har would be the grass. This painting is about going to a nice view and quiet place which symbolizes peace, it's my brain that draws it on the piece of paper. 

I hope it worked that way.

My favorite piece of subject

 6/05/2022

I have always loved to draw cartoons. However, since it's really not for me, I  decided to try another style of drawing like drawing realistic faces but I usually copy them like how their nose is structured which is the hardest part for me hence why I wanna learn how to make it more stable and more of a realistic. Here is the blind contour I did that draws from my mind without looking on the piece of paper..

Actually, it's only my first attempt to do it, because I know this is the only way to figure out what is really my favorite style of art and I think it worked that way which is messed up too.

 

PAINTING TECHNIQUES (DO NOW)

Impasto- Impasto is a painting technique that uses thick layers of paint. When you apply the paint thickly, it produces an incredibly beautiful effect on the canvas.

Here is Vincent Van Gogh's Impasto painting technique:

Layering in watercolors- Glazing slowly builds up watercolor layers, a little at a time, as the artist fully fleshes out their work. Typically, glazing (or layering) adds a new layer once the previous layers and washes have dried.

Here is van Gogh's watercolor style:

Sgraffito- sgraffito, (Italian: “scratched”), in the visual arts, a technique used in painting, pottery, and glass, which consists of putting down a preliminary surface, covering it with another, and then scratching the superficial layer in such a way that the pattern or shape that emerges is of the lower color.

Here is a good example of a sgraffito painting by Cy Twombly:

Stitching into artworks- In the textile arts, a stitch is a single turn or loop of thread or yarn. Stitches are the fundamental elements of sewing, knitting, embroidery, crochet, and needle lace-making, whether by hand or machine

Here is another artist named "Edgar degas" who impressively created monoprints:

Notes: (What is going on?)

There are various artist that has their own different style of art and they have their own kaupapa that is based on their presence of art. They are 4 established artists that I have picked in terms of their style of art. It's because of how they beautifully created their canvas with good details and intelligently create good imagery that shows an artist's best quality impressions. This tells my mind that this has to be on a high level and that says that they are the establised artist. It's repectively, van gogh, Cy Twombly, Richard Saja and Edgar dagas.  

GROUP PERFORMANCE IN MUSIC

I will be playing Bass🎸 along with my group bands for the song called "Out of a darkness".

The musical the song is from?

The title of the song is "out of darkness" and it is from the movie called "Everybody's talking about jamie.

What is happening in the story of the song.

They were all enjoying how far they came as the film was about to end when this song was played during the film.

What is the song about?  

This song is about Being individual without needing to be like someone else self-esteem.

Solidifying you kaupapa

• What is it? Kaupapa is when you create art that draws into your mind or your intentions to create anything that would represent from your inner brain.
• How are you going to use images to explore it? Just by its patterns of the scheme from that and what it is created in which tools they have used or what type of an imagery in an art of painting they have put out which would always has a meaning to it that I can feel of.
• Why have you chosen those images? Because I think it would relate in my personal idea that could create many ideas into my relation.

Here's my matrix:

I choose from one of the artist art which are 4 artist of them, respectfully they are Leonora Carrington, Kathe Kollwitz, Frido Khilo and Artemisia Gentilesch that is based in my topic from what they have created. They are 4 separated art photo that I have form them into group which related to "equity and equality".
