Refreshes Week's Art Work

In the summer holidays some Year 7's went to refreshes week to do 2 activities for 4 days and on the fifth they went next door too rother valley and do 2 more activities like archery or biking.Also one of the activities was spray can art, I Kian Layden had done one with help from a man called casper. So here's mine.

Picasso

Could you draw these things? Only Picasso could!

mark making

First of all in class we got given a picture by Van Gough and then carefully examined the one on the white board and started on the corn Field. to make the effect of the corn waving in the wind, we got a yellow oil pastel and started doing little flicks, making sure that we didn't leave any white or it would ruin the effect of the mark making. Then we proceeded to add another colour on top of the yellow to make it even more affective, i added on top of the yellow, orange, a golden colour and also black to make it look like the corn had shadows. Then we went onto the bushes using the same technique but with sutible colours for a bush, after all we don't want a pink bush insted of a green one.

manga by nyle

I like this picture as i made his eyebrows longer to make the picture more manga style.I used blue to color his hair and orange to colour his t - shirt as they are complementary colors.to make his shirt i added a collar than added some shoulders.next time i will take more time with my coloring.

Tone

too make tone we... Started off we all got a pencil crayon and pressed on really hard to get a nice block, dark colour and then as we traveled along the rectangle we gradually got lighter and lighter to get an affect that is on the sheet, then we did the same but with a water colour, poster paint, felt tip, pastels and oil pastels, i think the hardest thing to create tone with is a felt tip as i had a go with one when i got home from school one night.
