the picnic

this image that i like shows how they all seem relaxed and happy.  i think the main focus in this photo graph is the farther and his kids. i see a girl with her back faced towards the camera as the for ground. mid ground that i see is the farther and the kids. in the background  their are more kids and adults out in the background also their is a person looking at the person taking the photo. i like how the little boy is relaxing right next to his dad it kinda makes me think that the dad and the little boy are rely connected to each other and so are the other kids.

Albrecht Durer

Albrecht painted himself using the traditional conventions like oil paint. Durer also used wood as paper or a canvas to paint on. painting a portrait of your self would be kinda hard because you have to paint your self without making a movement. i think when you do a self portrait painting its about memory as well because when you paint your self your moving as well. Albrecht Durer self portrait painting is one of the first ever self portrait paintings. Albrecht used the traditional conventions to paint him self witch made people think that albrecht was portraying Christ, because people used to paint traditional paintings like Christ and that .

sorting the art history

today we were looking the different types of artist work.  we were talking about the time line that the art work was painted in, for example the( Mona Lisa painting) painted by Leonardo da Vinci that painting was panted in (1505-1514 AD) and a sculpture called (Venus of Willendorf) was Done in (25000 BCE). today i had to get put into groups of pears and we had to work out the image,facts context and meanings. all the facts images context and meanings were all mixed up so we had to use the image and find the facts,meanings and contexts to the image. i found it a bit hard to do, then we had to put all the artist work in order by the painting year.

spoken poetry.

i thought the poetry was kinda boring to me because they were mostly talking about politics that I'm not interested in, but i would say, some of the spoken poetry was funny at the time then that's when i got bord. looking at the spoken poetry i think that poetry not only about rimes and singing its also about the message that they send out to people, see i always thought that it was about the poems that rimed until thay said that its not all rimes and that.

using grids

drawing the image on to a grid was kind of hard because their is to much detail to try copy from.

Grid Drawing

Looked at using the grid to enlarge our images for mix media exploration. here's a link i thought illustrated what we did today in class.
