final culminating

so I completed my final culminating and here is the final result 

I put on 6 paintings I have done over the year along with 5 quotes , 2 thingss I like (Starbucks and David's tea) and 8 pictures of me, my friends , and my family , I chose most of my quotes from the band killers and incorporated them with watercolor and acrylic paint. I picked a variety of pictures to show all aspects of my life. and I chose some of my favourite paintings to show my skill in art. here are some close up pictures before I pinned it up on the corkboard 

I was very happy with the final result and felt it was a great representation of my life 

final culminating art

for my final art culminating I was asked to create a self portrait representation ,  I basically plan to pin a bunch of my previous art , quotes I like, lyrics I like , and pictures of me and my friends on a corkboard , I feel that this will be the best way to represent myself because it a variety of what I love , here is some of my brainstorming 

I want to test out transferring newspaper with water and white paint and puting a quote on it that represents me. I would also like to incorporate a map some how into my art because I would like to travel .  I really like art because it's unique and once you change it you can never restore it to original. this is why I plan on using some of my old pieces that I thought turned out really nicely. 

 I will post the final product sometime tomorrow , tonight I plan on finishing my quotes 

Lino print

I recently did a woodland art Lino print here are some pictures of my progress 

here is the final product , it took me about 5 days to finally finish 

I used the same tool all the way through to have the same cut lines 

I decided to do my print in blue because I thought it look vibrant , I did it kinda patchy to represent the leopard 

I was very happy with the final outcome 

print making

we spent a few days working in some glass printmaking. we didn't continue because most kids did not have much success with there prints. but I kind of liked how mine turned out . I did the same print twice , once enhancing the white and once enhancing the orange , then I ripped the more dominant looking one and placed it over the duller one to give a shadow effect.

Woodland art

the power point was very information.  it talked about norvels life and his art. It talked about his association with the group of seven and it showed differnt styles of woodland art.  it showed a piece of art that each one of the people in  the group of seven had painted, you could clearly see the differnt techniques being used. It showed how lines and color were important to woodland art, and the pantings were based after spiritual meanings.

this video diplays novels art.  it shows the meaning behind his pieces.

What made norvel more exeptional than other artists is the fact that he tried something new.  Novel took a differnt approach to art than most artists before him.  Norvel changed the way canadians veiw art. Novel struggled with alcohol, but dispite his difficulties he persevered and created brilliant masterpieces.
