Negative Space Term 3

In this term 3, we started a new art project about negative spaces. Negative spaces are the opposite of positive spaces. Positive spaces can be easily seen and that negative spaces are just the background, it is not really important. I drew a picture of 4-5 palm trees and a sailboat. I chose to draw this because I like the sea and there are a lot of negative spaces. The colors that I use to paint my drawings are cool, hot and a combination of both. I chose these colors because I think that it looks really good when it is together because the hot color stands out and also the cool colors stands out. The process of creating a negative space drawing is: 1. Plan what picture will you draw (should have a lot of negative spaces) 2. Draw a margin on all of the three drawing paper 3. Start drawing your picture on the drawing paper (the pencil lines should be soft) 4. Plan on the colors you want to paint on your drawing 5. Then start painting your drawing 6. After finish painting, leave it to dry 7. Use the paper cutter to cut all of your margins 8. Stick double sided tape on each of the paintings 9. Stick the paintings on a black paper that Mr. Pat provided for us 10. Then you have a negative space painting! I think that the thing that I did well was blending the colors together cool, hot and a combination of both hot and cool colors. I think that the things that I could improve is I should try and think of a new design for the negative spaces like try to use geometric shapes and some fancy lines to make my painting better.

Week 9

On Week 9 of Term 2, Wednesday the 21th of March 2007. In Art class we continued doing our mini theater, in this lesson I finished painting my backdrop but I did not paint my theater yet, so I did it in this lesson. I painted the outside of the theater black, and the inside for the floor and the ceiling of the theater I painted goldish yellow. After I had painted the theater I then left it to dry, while I was waiting for it to dry I then did my wings and they were an egyptian pole and a statue, it was painted gold. That's what I did for this week.

The process of making a mini theater is:
1. You have to find one myth or a legend
2. Research about it
3. Bring in a box
4. Cover the box with tissue (paper mache)
5. Draw the backdrop
6. Paint the outside and the inside of the theater (no need to paint the bottom)
7. Make a wing for you stage
8. Make small chages to your theater
9. Decorate your stage
10. Then you have a mini theater!!!

I think that If I compare my work to my friends I think that my work looks good, and if I compare it to my other art work I think that this project might be the best project that I have done so far for art class. Also I think that the grade I should deserve is between 6 and 7 because I think that It looks good and that I took my time to do it. As now, I have not yet finish my theater which I think that the thing that was successful was I have my theater that is now nearly finish and that I only have to do my wings now.

In my backdrop I have a picture of 4 poles that looks like an egyptian style, which the backdrop is the picture of the inside of an egyptian palace. I drew 4 poles because when I researched for the inside of an egyptian palace I saw lots of poles and some tunnels. The picture of the inside of the egyptian palace is important to King Midas because he lives in a palace. Also I think that my stage communicates my understanding about a myth or legend really well because I think that my backgrounds communicates really well also I think that I chose the right colour for my stage, so I think that my theater communicates really well.

Week 8

In Week 8 of Term 2, Wednesday the 14th of March. In Art class we get to continue doing our mini theater which i had to do my backdrop. I first draw the inside palace of King Midas, with my imagination plus some ideas from the internet. After I draw it I then started to paint my picture by starting with a wash. I use yellow and orange to mix it and alittle bit of gold. The only problem that I face was doing the wash because in art class there is only one small gold bottle which it is almost finish. First I thought that I could not get the right colour for gold because their was not enought gold colour.

Week 7

On Wednesday the 7th March 2007, In Art class we started to make our mini theater, first I started to make paper mache on my shoe box. I did it about 3 layers but some of my friends started to do the second thing which is to paint the backdrop for our theater. Which it has to be about a myth of a legend. For me I chose to do King Midas, which is the king that if he touches anything it then will turn to gold. The problems that I faced during doing this activity is that when I stick the tissue paper on my shoe box, it keeps on having bubbles or a lump which I have to try to scrub it and pushes it done to make it smooth.

Week 6

In week 6, Wednesday the 28th of February. We did not did anything on art just noting the reflection about painting base on the artist Paul Klee and draw portraits of 6B homeroom teacher and one more specialist teacher. I drew Miss Ange and Mr. Andy. Well, I guess that some of the people might be confused about my painting that what are the images did I have in my painting, so this is what I have a football, rose, sea with a sun, corals, mountains, pencil, microphone, a balloon and a piano note. All of the thing that I chose should represents me.

The reason that I chose a football picture is because I like playing football. Second, a rose because my house grows rose which it smells good and nice so I put it in Third, a sea with a sun because I love travelling especially going to the beach in Pattaya. Fourth, corals because I love nature and I love to explore things also I like diving in the sea. Fifth, mountains because I like nature and when I see it, it shows me that our environment is still good. Sixth, a pencil because I love writing and drawing. Seventh, a microphone because I like sing (at home not in public). Eighth, balloon because I like parties. Lastly, a piano note because I love learning music and instruments especially piano, drums, bass guitar, classic guitar and an electric guitar.

The process of making this piece of painting is:
1. plan 5 things or more that represents you on a piece of paper
2.Then get the real paper and draw margins around the paper
3. You then draw the grid any way you like it can be squares or other designs you prefer but becareful not to make the grid too small.
4. You then draw your pictures in
5. You then take your real piece of paper with your drawing to photo copy it.
6. Write down the colours that you will paint into each grid box
7. The colours are based on the colour wheel for example primary, secondary, complimentary, analogous and probably tertiary.
8. You then start painting it (should do the yellow first)
9. You then will have a finish piece of art, after painting all of the color.
The final piece of art example picture is on the top left corner

The score that I got for criteria A is 8/8 but for criteria B I got 8/10. In my opinion I would say that I think that I did pretty well on this art piece compared to others. The art that I liked the most is Nutt's art because I think that the colours are bright and shiny and also I think that he painted it really neatly.

Welcome to Kik's Art Journal

Colour Wheels

Hi this is Kik's journal all about arts, but my first project is about Colour Wheels and I will be giving you some information about it


Primary Colours

Red, yellow and blue
In traditional color theory, these are the 3 pigment colors that can not be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors.

Secondary Colours

Green, orange and purple. These are the colors formed by mixing the primary colors.


Tertiary Colours

Yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green and yellow-green.

These are the colors formed by mixing a primary and a secondary color. That's why the hue is a two word name, such as blue-green, red-violet, and yellow-orange.

Color Harmony

There are many theories for harmony. The following illustrations and descriptions present some basic formulas.

Analogous is one of the example. Analogous is a color that is neighbor in the color wheel. For an example: yellow and yellow-green is near by in the tertiary colour wheel.

Complementary colors are any two colors which are directly opposite each other, such as red and green and red-purple and yellow-green. In the illustration above, there are several variations of yellow-green in the leaves and several variations of red-purple in the orchid. These opposing colors create maximum contrast and maximum stability.

Practical Color Mixing Test Reflection

On the 18th, Wednesday during in art class we did a test on color theory. We did the test first then we had to do a practical color mixing test. I got a blue tone and I thought that it would be really hard because the school blue paint is not the same colour as the tone card. Then when I started to paint it, I did not get the right colour even I tried to mix all of paint on the table. I then realize that it was really hard to mix it. Later on, I tried and tried and still I did not get it. But then I got the darkest blue, the last tone color on the card.

But unlucky I did not keep the colour so I had to mix it again. But if I keep it I may have a chance to do all the tints, by adding white to it to make it lighter. It took me a long time but at the end I managed to have 2 correct out of 4. Mr Pat gave me 9 out of 10 for criterion B, which it is out of 10. I agree with the score that I got because I tried my best even if I got 2 correct. I am proud with the score even I only got 2 out of 4 tints, but I tried my best.

Well in that lesson I would say that most of the tone cards are hard to try to make that colour. But I think that the most hardest tone colour to make is green, the one that Kevin, Keith and Som got.

Color Wheel Reflection

In our art class we had a big project to do. It is about the colour wheel, it needs to have the information about the colours and the colour wheel. Then Mr. Pat our art teacher marked it and I got a really good score. He checked on the criterion a b c and d. My score for A is 8, B is 9, C is 8 and D is 8. Well A is out of 8, and b is out of 10, and C is out of 8, and D is out of 8. I am proud with my project because I worked hard on it and I put alot of effort into it. First I thought that it would be so hard but then it came out easy, which I have no problem doing it. Because some of the answers, I already know it.

Collage

During in Art class for this week, Wednesday the 8th of November I continued doing my collage about colours. Then after I have finish doing my collage I then started to make a 20 grid box for the next step of doing this assignment. First I did not look at the instruction carely, I accidently did a small box. That's my problem but later on I did it again with 4cm per box and it perfectly fits.In this assignment I have learned that colour collage could make feelings by using one colour. For making the collage my first problem was that I could not make my collage having a feeling but after I changed it by cutting the colour paper in a cloud shape, it gives a calm feeling. I think that cutting it out into a shape helps to communicate because it comes out in pictures not a square.

Collage and paintings

On Wednesday the 15th of November. During in art class I have started making 20 square box so that I can paint the different blue tone in each box. I have started to paint 12 squares. During in this assignment I have learned that sometimes when we mix the color to black the color turns to black but when I painted it the color just turned dark blue, strange but true. I have learned that we can mixed alot of different tone using one color. When I did this assignment, I followed the instructions, my work came out pretty well and it is neat. When I did this I had some problems in mixing color, which when I wanted that kind of blue I just can't mix it.

Collage and Painting 2

During in Art class, Wednesday 22th of November 2006. We continued painting the 20 squared box. I had 8 more to do. I think that the problem that I had was mixing the colour which when I wanted that colour, I could not make it. Well when it was tidy up time I have just managed to paint the last box, which it was lucky. So on this Wednesday I have already finished the second task. For my third task is to make an abstract painting, which I have done it before in Grade 5. I think that I will have no problem on painting an abstract picture because I have experience in doing it before in Grade 5.
