Blog Post 4- Level 3 Art (Kaupapa Part 2)

 Kaupapa- Establishing A Clearer Vision

My preferred subject matter is the Seven Deadly Sins. I will be using a mixture of how the sins show themselves in the modern world but also stereotypical visualisations of each sin (eg, a lion for pride, a dragon for wrath). I've decided to do this because it interests me a lot and I would like to expand my level of thinking (more outside of the box thinking of how I can represent each sin in my art) rather than thinking of the obvious. In Level 1 for art, my kaupapa was about ocean pollution and how litter affects sea animals. It was pretty basic and didn't really form a story like I wanted. The paintings were just of sea animals surrounded in trash or turtles with those beer ring thingies around their neck. Very obvious. Last year, in Level 2, my kaupapa was equality, femininity, and stereotypes between males and females. Stuff like a woman having to take care of everything around the house or how hard it is for women to get jobs with a larger population of male workers/vice versa. That one didn't form a story like I wanted either. A bit better than Level 1, but still not to my liking. This year, I'm hoping that I can complete my portfolio to the best of my ability. Putting in much more thought and dedication to each artwork and to hopefully create a portfolio where each artwork is connected in some way- telling a story.

Blog Post 9 - Level 3 Art (Reviewing Kaupapa)

 How Is My Kaupapa Going?

So far, I would say that my kaupapa is on track. The research I have done on the topic of Seven Deadly sins and the work I have completed (whether that be class or portfolio work) is still relative. My kaupapa is headed in the direction I want it to go. However, after recent reading and the overall work I've done, I have had a few negative thoughts. Things like "should I have picked this topic?" Or "will I be able to create a portfolio full of work based on this?" But even so, I am dedicated to this topic now. I get bored of drawing the same things over and over again, as I have in past years. But I still passed those years and I will do so again this year. I am still interested in the topic of the Seven Deadly Sins and I am committed to completing 3 folio boards. I just have to overcome a few challenges along the way.

Blog Post 1 - Level 3 Art (Kaupapa + Brainstorm)

 Kaupapa for Art Study

My kaupapa for this year is going to be the Seven Deadly Sins (pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, sloth, and wrath). I've chosen this theme because I am very interested in how these 'sins' may affect peoples life if they were to give into them. I am not actually religious and I understand that the seven deadly sins stem from Christianity- this, however, will not factor into my work. I will also mention that I am not basing my art off of the anime named 'Seven Deadly Sins'. My art this year will revolve around the modern forms of these 'sins'. Eg, how these sins show themselves in the modern world and how they can change the mindsets of different people.

My brainstorm on the seven deadly sins (possible ideas for paintings):

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.

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.
