Project: Portraits

My picasso portrait!

This is my portrait of picasso! I think this is very good for the first artwork of the year. I even have a whole storyline on it! She's half zombie and half human. That's why the pencil colored side of her looks sort of divine, and the other side looks like a mean girl.

Storyline: Basically this girl is half zombie, half human. Her name is Star. Star befriends a popular girl (Chloe's artwork). The popular girl mde a deal with Star- if became friends with her, she would help Star hide her zombie side of her life. The popular girl also befriends another girl (Sherlyn's artwork) and promises to hide her autistic side.

Details

I really liked this rendering! I feel like this is something I did really well in this artwork.

What I like!

I like this eye because I think I did really well drawing it- and I really like the shape!

Julian Opie: Self-portrait

My portrait!

This is my self portrait- inspired by Julian Opie's portraits of people. It was really fun doing this project- and slightly stressful because if you mess up one part it won't start looking good...

Firstly we took pictures if ourselves and outlined the picture with pencil. In this step, you have to be very careful and remember where you already outlined. To make this picture look like a cartoon, you have to color in only the nostrils and the black cirlced in the eyes and the lips meed to be onky the top line of the top one, and a little bit of the bottom lip too.

The OG photo

We traced it pencil off of this photo that we took. I was able to let my hair down for a specil effect. I think this photo was okay- but not my best :D

Comparison :D

OG photo

This is the OG photo- just a normal photo! It's nice, right???

Artwork

This is my artwork. I really like the shirt and the right side of the hair because it flows down freely and it was actually really fun to draw.

Piccaso and Julian Opie research!

Now we're going to doing some research on Pablo Picasso and Julian Obie! I'll start with Julian Obie, since I just uploaded a picture of an artwork insipired by him.

Julian Opie

Did you know Julian Opie is colour blind? He says that it's really fustrating sometimes, but it gives him the chance to play with colours.

Furthermore, he was born in 1958 in in London, England. He also went to Dragon School snd Magdalen school in Oxford, England. After that, he trained at the Chelsea College of art and went on to be a teacher.

Thursday 18th September

Today we painted our Julian Opie self- portraits! It was really fun! Although I do feel that I kinda messed up my work a bit because my skin was too dark.

Skin color

I like it but it was a little too dark- and if you look closely, you can see that there are actually two colors! That's because my original color was going to run out, so I re-made it. But unfortunately for me, it didn't turn out to be the same color. I used it in the tedt paper and it was similar!

Hair

As you might see in this picture, the hair is not painted yet! That's because we haven't gotten the chance to paint the hair- and we will do it next week!

Shirt

I really like the shirt! The color is a little more flourscent than the original shirt's color. Hey, don't blame me! It's hard to mix colors and get the exact one that you need.

Overall, right now I like it! It's okay- and I think that it's like a trust the process thing.

26th September

Today we colored the hair! Today we mixed hair colors and it turned out really well- although it was slightly too light.

Hair color

That"s the color of my hair. It looks really good, and at this part it's kind of flowing down on my shoulders, which I really like.

Thursday 9th October

Completed self-portrait!

It's finally completed, after a few weeks! I really like the look of it, even if I had doubts at first.

WWW: The hair details and the shirt were really well-drawn! I like it because it looks really pretty.

EBI: It woule be even better if the skin was actually equal to my skin color. Right now, it's a little too dark for my taste.

Overall, it came out really well! I like the glasses, and the color of the background was super pretty, because I just love pastel! I also like the tie, but it's colors were slightly too flourescent, and my tie isn't that bright.And that part was surprisingly hard to draw because I put too much water into it, so it became runny. So then some parts of the color mashed together, and created a small patch of green.

Oswaldo Guayasamin

My portrait

This is my Oswaldo Guayasamin portrait! It represents fear that the Ecuadorian people felt whike at war.

I think I did good! The sharpie took a really long time, and normally this drawing is not my style. Normally in my spare time I draw cute things, so this was very new. And shading is kind of difficult, but I managed it.

Thursday 16th October

Today, we drew a mind map that will help us with a collage projwct next half term. I'm really excited to do it, because it looks really fun, and I think I can express my creativity with it.

My Mind Map

Here, we wrote about things that we liked, and the things that we disliked. This mind map gives us ideas for the background of the future project.

As you can see here, there are a lot of things that I like to do. I love eating, but somehow I'm a picky eater too!

Here at the bottom are my ideas on what I should put on the background. I like all of these things, but the only thing I'm worried about is the shapes and patterns- I'm scared I'm going to mess it up!

It was simple enough- but it was sort of hard to remember what I like, because, well... it's a Thursday! My brain's not really working at the moment! Anyways, next, we have the google slides. We added the images of some of the things on our mind map, and we're probably going to use them for the background.

Slides

This is my google slides! It was really easy to do, because we just searched for the things on our mind map, and look for images, then finally paste them into the sight.

Well, now I'm going to give you two examples of the projwct we're going to be doing! It's really fun- like always!

First portrait!

This example is really, really detailed, and incredibly pretty as well! I love the fact that this person is wearing a crown on her head. In this portrait, they cut out the eye (a small circle around the eye) and placed it somewhere else, making it look unique.

Second portrait!

This is the second example- it's also really detailed. I love the contrast between the bright and colored shapes, and the beautifully sketched, dark, clouds and that butterfly. Like in the first projectt, they have also placed the eye somewhere else.
