As a class, discuss and examine the style and subjects of Ken Done's artworks.
Pay attention to the note of colours and shapes used.
Now it is your turn. The teacher will provide you with
A4 paper
Pencils
Oil Pastels
You will need to pick a famous Australian site and draw it using inspiration from Ken Done. Once you have drawn your artwork, it is time to add some colour. Check with your teacher first and then use the Oil Pastels.
Look at more images of Ken Done's work for inspiration here, or look at the slide show below:
This exercise challenges the student to control pencil pressure, evaluating tonal ranges so as to successfully evoke distance and diminution of objects as affected by aerial perspective.
In the corner of an A4 landscape sheet, a small 5 box grid is drawn for the student to graduate from very pale grey in box 1 through to darkest black achievable from a 2B pencil. Across the width, at approx. 1/3 down from top a skyline is drawn, as a line only, showing small buildings at a distance.
At halfway down, another line is drawn showing building outlines appearing closer to us – at about 1/3 from bottom of sheet - a third line is drawn showing closer buildings still. The farthest away skyline area is toned in using darkest tone, the next skyline back uses the next lighter tone and the farthest away uses a very pale grey tone. Aerial perspective of a city landscape is conveyed.
A street-scape can be added to bottom of page, emphasising scale and clarity of things closer to us
For this artwork, you will need to choose an Australian Significant Site (It must be different than what you chose for the Ken Done artwork.
You will get a chance to sketch this site on white paper before creating a collage.
Use bold shapes in your sketch as fine detail can be difficult to collage. Draw inspiration from the given site:
