Art Collaboration

 For art we recreated the Gruffalo cover. During these two weeks I learnt two new techniques.

We had a big piece of paper that has a small part of the cover. We used pastels to color in. Firstly I learnt how to blend different colors. If we were coloring the grass we had to put green on, put white on top then lastly smudge it. 

The second technique I learnt how to blend in the tree. There were trees that were brown and other trees that were grey. For the grey trees we had to color it in with grey, then trying to darken it little bit by using black or brown. For the brown trees we had to just put brown on.

I had fun doing this and I need to get better at art more.

Masking Art

Geometric is simple shapes like simple curves and simple angles. Masking means hiding something.

We were doing gemoetric masking art. The materials used was masking tape used for our frame and for sections, also pastels to color in the gemoetric sections.

We had to make big sections then small sections. When coloring it in make sure you color it in one direction and keep on doing. Don't sketch it because there's going to be flakes.

I enjoyed learning how to make masking art and want to do it more.

Aboriginal Dot Art

Aboriginal art are what Aboriginal people did so they can tell there stories. That happened about 45,000 years ago. Instead of using words they used symbols to tell there stories.These stories were actually called dreamtime stories.

My animal I used is a Goanna. A Goanna is a type of lizard. We tested out doing
the dot technique before doing the real art. The symbols that we used for the art : waterhole, footprints,
travelling path, hunter, boomerang, stars and others more.

My dreamtime story is about a Goanna looking for water. He drinks water from the waterhole
and then a hunter come in with a boomerang, then he throws it at the Goanna but misses. The Goanna
looks for another waterhole to drink out of.

Lastly he travels to a new area with more waterholes and more food.

I enjoyed doing aboriginal dot painting and it was fun.
