Lino Cutting

Our learning outcome has been:

To develop an understanding of orphism, and how to use the geometric shapes and bright colours.

We've done:

Research on Sonja Terk Delaunay.

Developing thumbnail sketches on orphism.

Choosing the thumbnail we want and splitting it into 2 lino cuts.

Orphism an abstract art where you use bright colours and solid shapes to create a colourful and unique art piece. Orphism gives priority to light and colour creating bold artwork with all the shapes and colours.

Here is my version of orphism that we did in class which was supposed to take 10 minutes and I ended up taking significantly longer.

Here are some thumbnail sketches of orphism.

Art

In art we have been working on Michael Mew inspired media art. Our art had to include:
A focal point
Leading lines
A bird

We had to add a bird to represent our cultural narrative. The bird that I chose is a Mohua.

I think to improve my work, next time I could plan it out better and fugure out where everything is going to go before I do it.

My focal point is the face because it's much larger than anything else and they grey makes it stand out more.

My leading lines are the edges around the yellow and the yellow cracked line leading up to the other yellow. Maybe the edges of the face too.

Art

In school this year we were able to select a few subjects which we'd get to do throughout the week and one of the subjects I chose was art.

Learning Intentions
Learning the techniques required to make our ideas come alive; drawing with tone and proportion

Have you improved with shading?
Probably.

Do you understand that using a structure can help you draw better (light loose lines under your work)?

Yes. It's making a guideline sort of by drawing shapes and adding more detail as you go along so that you get a better drawing.

What are you going to work on going forward in pencil drawing in and out of class?
Shading circles neatly and making them more realistic.
