Art 2.2 - Painting - (Portfolio Complete)

Art 2.2 + Portfolio

Here is my 2.2 art internal as well as my completed portfolio with some series work.

 

Art Level 2 - Panel 2 Plan

Art Portfolio - Panel 2

For art, we were required to fill out this sheet of paper below to plan what we were going to do on our second panel. The layout is very rough so it may not look exactly like that when I am finished. I have fallen behind a bit, I'll be honest, but I am going to spend a lot of time over the holidays and after school working on my art. 

Connections - English Infographic

 CONNECTIONS

In English, we are learning about connections (how each of the texts relates to the overarching theme which is personhood and what it means to be a person). The five ideas below are the underlying themes in the texts that I had noticed. There are many more, but to me, these are the most significant. Soon, we are going to write an essay based on connections so I will need to go further into depth for these ideas and maybe find a few more.

The four texts I've chosen:

• Blade Runner 2049, by Denis Villeneuve
• Ex Machina, by Alex Garland
• Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, by Kenneth Branagh
• Be Right Back, Black Mirror S2 E1 by Owen Harris

Art Level 2 - Personal Description

 

Art 2021 - Personal Description

In art right now, we are working on our 2.1 internal. For three different artworks (traditional, contemporary, and an artist from Aotearoa) we had to examine the artworks and write personal descriptions as if we were describing the artworks to someone who was blind. We also had to draw quick thumbnail sketches. Below is the traditional artist's artwork, the personal description I wrote along with its thumbnail.

Our task today is to post one of our personal descriptions and comment on one of our peer's personal descriptions which they have also posted on their blog.

Traditional Artwork: Crookhey Hall - Leonora Carrington 

Personal Description:

The artwork Crookhey Hall by Leonora Carrington has a gloomier, darker shade to it. The colours are not extremely vibrant. They have a slight grey hue. The colours are mainly cool tones. Greens mostly. There are people, spirits (ghosts), and animals in the image. In the background there is a mansion with spirits floating around the roof, to the left of the mansion, there is a pond with even more spirits in the water. Surrounding the pond there are trees. Leading from the front door of the house, a dirt path winds through the artwork extending to the edge, most likely carrying on further. On each side of the path, there are small green shrubs. Other than the path, everything else is grass. The sky at the top of the artwork is grey. At the bottom right, there are more green shrubs, to the top right there are grassy hills seen behind more trees. The focus point in this artwork is the white spirit in the bottom in a running motion. The spirit is one of the biggest since it is in the foreground and also the whitest spirit which draws your eye first. The others are more grey.

Thumbnail Sketch:

(I apologise for the thumbnail sketch being rotated, I'm not sure how to rotate it on blogger since it's fine on google slides)

Brainstorm - Art 2021

 BRAINSTORM

I made a brainstorm on a google drawing about the different things I cared about and could possibly include in my art this year. I was originally going to be doing cityscape but now I've changed my mind to Feminism/Social Conscience. I think I will care more about it and I won't get bored. I care about everybody's rights, no matter who they are or who/what they identify as. I care about equality, everyone is human, everyone should have the same rights and the same options. And I really like Jacqueline Fahey's art.

Subject Matter - Art 2021

Art 2021 - Year 12 Level 2 - Mood Board

 ART 2021

Right now in art, we are finishing off our mood boards. We needed to find art from different artists and include an image of their art, their name, the name of the artwork, and the date. I've included a number of artists from all themes. Spiritual/cultural, environmental protection, cityscape/urban world, and feminism/social conscience. I haven't quite decided which theme I'm going with but I'm leaning more towards cityscape. I like Jeffrey Smart's work.
