Term 3 Week 2 - Art Update

Art Update
My kaupapa this term is looking at ocean animals and the effects pollution (rubbish) has on them.
(I also apologise for some of the photos looking very inadequate, good thing I'm not in photography)

This is the infamous turtle painting. I have yet to finish it because the water still isn't blended too well and the turtle's flippers (especially the top left one) were accidentally nicked in blue. The rubbish around him could be better too.

 
This is the pencil drawing (original) of the turtle, I may add some shading to the water but other than that I think it is finished.

This is a drawing of a dolphin surrounded in the trash, he has a 6-pack beer ring caught in his mouth and the water he is swimming in is absolutely horrid. I still have to finish drawing some rubbish around him but the main point of the drawing is done.

This is a drawing of multiple situations animals are stuck in due to rubbish in the ocean, I have been using this as a supply of ideas to do my bigger drawings, I'm not too sure yet whether I will put this on my folio board.

Art Research Internal

Art Internal

For the past few weeks, I've been working on the slideshow below. We needed to complete the slides of the slideshow where work needed to be completed. I have done so and embedded it to this blog. I researched artworks from four different artists from multiple cultural settings; Sofia Minson, Robyn Kahukiwa, Andy Warhol, and Andrew Wyeth. I also drew some thumbnails of the paintings (they were supposed to be quick but since we're stuck inside because of COVID-19 I've had a lot of time on my hands and wanted to put a little effort into them).

Art - Lino Cutting

For art lately, we've been working on lino cutting. We had to cut the lino and then cover it in ink. We then plastered it onto paper and voila!

Which bird did I choose?
I chose Pipiwharauroa.

Describe stylisation and positive/negative space in my work?
As you can see there are white bits in the bird and surrounding it. That is the bits that I cut out and bits I left alone. The bits I cut are white (negative). Bits I didn't cut out (positive) are black.

What ideas do I have for my orphist circle layers?
Well, I guess those are my ideas (the circles in my first photos)

What colours have I chosen for my layers and why?
Right now, I'm not too sure. I might keep the bird black or red and do the orphist circles yellow or blue maybe?
