Van Gogh, Impasto

 Hello everyone.

For the past few weeks we have been learning about impasto in art. One of the famous artist who was known for making painting with the Impasto technique was, Van Gogh. One of his famous paintings was the 'Starry Night'.

We answered questions about him and also about the painting technique.

1. What does the word impasto mean? Look up the word in lexipedia.com, then type your answer here:

A painting style that uses thick paint so that the brush or palette knife textures appear on the painting. Basicly the painting should look like a painting.

2. How can an impasto brushstrokes express emotions?

The amount of thickness of paint in each stroke can value someone's emotions. 

3. Was Van Gogh one of the first painters to use impasto technique?

No he was not, it was Rembrandt though Van Gogh is one of the famous artists for using the impasto technique.

Watercoloring Flowers 🌸💐🌹 🖌️

 Hello everyone.

This term we have a new subject introduced to us which is Art. We started of by learning how to watercolour and how to use it properly. Of course water colouring involves water so we started of by getting water and got some watercolour paints. We learned some different types of techniques, for example layering, the intensity, Dilution, glazing and etc. We also tried different types of textures to add with water colouring. We experimented with plastic, sponges and also alcohol. 

After we got used to water colouring and knew the basic steps we started making our flowers. A great tip is to start with the lightest colour first and don't paint over the spots you want to keep white. At the start I painted kind of recklessly and painting the darkest colour and then adding the lightest colours next. 

Here are some photos of some watercolor flowers:

Colourful Puzzles

Hello, this is my first blog post of the term. 

Recently we have been working on our bright and colourful puzzles. We each get a puzzle and write some facts about us. We had to write our name and age on the puzzle. We also had to draw things that we like to do. By making the puzzle we can learn other peoples interests and a bit about themselves. 

My puzzle had my age, my name, what country I'm from and things I like to do.  We had a choice of either we draw out picture or take a pic and printed it. The things I like to do is watch TV, play games, eat, draw and play hockey. At the end when we finished all our puzzle our teacher would stick them together in order and it would look like a puzzle.

Her is a picture of my puzzle:

Making Foil Art

Hello again, this week we had another art activity. This time our art includes tinfoil,colourful sharpies and yarns. 

First we had to draw our pattern. My pattern was a little bit weird. My one looked more like a snake. Some of us decided to do our name into a pattern.

Then we had to add a string or yarn over the lines. After that we place tinfoil over in the middle. The tinfoil had to be a little bit bigger then the paper.The we pressed it down on the back so that it would stand out more. We fold the extra bit of the tin foil and then we coloured it in.

We chose our 2 or 3 colours of sharpie. We were not allowed to put the same colour next to each other.

Here is how it looks:

Always welcome to give some feedback.
Can you Guess which one is mine?
It has the colour pink, dark pink and blue.

Colourful heads + Pastel Shapes!!

This week we have 2 other art activity. The first art activiy we did this week was the coloured heads.

First we had to find a group that we never worked with so that we could use some of our calming strategies. Miss Scott had to take picture of us so that it would be easier. The next day, they were printed. We had to trace them in the other side of the paper.

When our group was done tracing them, we had to place newspapers over our table. Then we had to pick a colour. Our group chose green. The biggest head had the dark colour. Then it gotten whiter and whiter. Miss Scott added white paint to make the colour a little bit white then she add more to make it even whiter.

Here is what it looks like:

Then we started doing pastel shapes. I had new group memebrs. The people in our group was Rye, Me and Ahyan. We had to draw shapes but they had to be not to close to each other. Then we had to connect them by drawing lines to shape to shape. We had to go over the lines and the shapes with vivid. Then it was time to colour them in by pastels. We were told that we were not suppose to colour them all fully. We only coloured in some of the spaces and smugged it by our fingers. we had to wash our hands when we were going to use another colour to smudge.

Here are some photos of what we did:
