Reflections cont...

Reflection 4
I did finish my outline this lesson, with the help from my teacher, and I went on to drawing the details inside it just to help me when i start painting.

Reflection 5
I started painting my legs today but it was really challenging to find the right colours to mix to replicate my skin colour. I also had to add some black to some of the paint to help with the shadier areas near the insides of my legs.

Reflection 6
This lesson i painted my uniform on my painitng a dark navy colour and i included the badges, I also started painting my left arm but it was difficult to make the same colour skin colour that I used on my legs.

Reflection 7
I had saved the skin colour I managed to make last week and kept it in a safe place in the art room so that I wouldn't have to go to the trouble of making it again this lesson. By the end of art today I had successfully painted both my arms and drawn, with pencil, more detail on my face.

My reflections leadin up to final prodct

Reflection 1
Last lesson we had a talk with Aunty Sally and she explained to us about up side down drawing and the left side of our brains, we also had the opportunity to see her work and make a dot painting which was amazing! Today the class did a pose whilst Mrs Vincent took our picture, she said we would need that photo for our project this term. I can't wait untill next lesson to see what we are going to do with our pictures.

Reflection 2
Today Mrs Vincent revealed what we will be doing this term, and it is very similar to the work of aunty sally. This lesson Mrs Vincent gave us the pictures she took last lesson and told us to trace around the outline of our body and shade with black the negative shapes around us. We also got to paint a large piece of cardboard either blue, red or black (i painted mine black).

Aunty Sally

In the last few weeks St Hildas got the privellage of having a famous artist come to our school and help us with our work, her name was Aunty Sally. For afew lessons she showed us how well she could paint using a variety of techniquessuch as dot painting, and my favourite one - drawing a replica of another picture turned upside down. This was my favourite as it fascinates me that if you turn the object or photo you are painting upside down and only focus on the negative shapes it lets the right side of your brain "free" as it is not controled by your left side of your brain if you do this. Mrs Vincent got us to use the same tecnique as Aunty Sally and draw a picture of a photo of us. I was really excited to do this and am not finished quite yet, but I think I am doing a pretty good job.I loved having Aunty Sally here for a few weeks and we were all sad to see her leave.
