ART - WITH Ms MAKIN! :)

In art with Ms Makin at the moment we are using our senses to create art, we have had to listen to diferent types of music and draw what we feel, touch different materials and draw what we had felt aswell as taste food, spices etc and draw what we can taste. I am really enjoying it and will do it more as it allows you to express your feelings on paper and feel clear and relaxed about everything you are worring about!

RANGOLI!

Rangoli
1. Search for a definitions
Rangoli is one of the most popular art forms in India. It is a form of sand painting decoration that uses finely ground white and coloured powders, and is commonly done outside homes in India.

2. What are the major elements of design that Rangoli uses? Define them and include them in your blog
Lotus flower, its leaves, mango, Tue vase, fish, different kind birds, parrot, swan, peacock, human figures and foliage.

3. Reflect on three of your favourite designs. Discuss the line, colours, pattern and lines of symmetry created in the design
My favourite rangolis are the first three ones and I like these ones because of their bright unusual but primary colours and their unusual shapes and uncontrollable lines! The patterns used all are particuly similar as they are all circular.

4. Choose a favourite. What does it remind you of?…. be as imaginative as possible
This rangoli reminds me of asian drawings. The colours tie together really nicely and the pink flowers stand out on the maroon circles. The belles on the pink and yellow are very different to the whole rangoli which I found to be difficult to understand!

5. Think about under a microscope what would it look like?
It would look extremely different as it would be all chalky and powdery which would make it very unclear and fuzzy. I think the colours would stand out more and it would look much different!

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

WHAT IS ART???

WHAT IS ART??
Art is the person creating it. Art is a person expressing what they can see, what their feeling, what they can smell and what they can hear and what they can touch by being creative. Art is a fun outgoing way for people to show everyone who they are and it is a fun way to entertain you or others. Art has been known and shown for many years and each and every individual has their own way of showing it. It can be made with many different utensils and many discoveries have been discovered through art.

After our class discussion . . . .
I think my answer was too much about individuals when allot of people talked about more social elements like for instance types of art and people who can do it. Art is also everything and anything for example, Humans, Wildlife, deserts, oceans, animals etc. It also doesn’t have to be your senses it can be anything.

HANDS . . .
These hands were definitely art because it is someone expressing their feelings and or their likeness for animals. I enjoyed it and thought it was really cool and fun!!!

FRUIT, VEG and MOTO CHEF . . .
These clips are Art because it is a way of someone sharing their thoughts and expressing them and who they are. They are sculptures and a neat way of discovering a new way to have fun being creative making sculptures. I enjoyed tem and want to create some fruit sculptures soon!!


Ketchup Painting . . .
That was so art in the terms of coming up with the idea of doing it and then discovering or disciding to use a chip as a paint brush and tomato sauce as paint. It was really enjoyable and the final product was awesome!!!

ORIGAMI . . .
The origami was amazing. It is also art because people have created them with their heart and designed them with art tools!!
I thought it was really neat!!!

DOT ART WORK

GEORGES SEURAT

GEORGES SEURAT

Georges was born in the 19th Centurary (2nd December 1859) He was a French Post Impressioonist painter. Seurat was born into a wealthy family in Paris. Georges Seurat first studied art with Justin Lequien, a sculptor. Seurat attended the École des Beaux-Arts in 1878 and 1879. After a year of service at Brest Military Academy, he returned to Paris in 1880. He shared a small studio on the Left Bank with two student friends before moving to a studio of his own. For the next two years he devoted himself to mastering the art of black and white drawing. He spent 1883 on his first major painting — a huge canvas titled Bathers at Asnières.

After his painting was rejected by the Paris Salon, Seurat turned away from such establishments, instead allying himself with the independent artists of Paris. In 1884 he and other artists (including Maximilien Luce) formed the Société des Artistes Indépendants. There he met and befriended fellow artist Paul Signac. Seurat shared his new ideas about pointillism with Signac, who subsequently painted in the same idiom. In the summer of 1884 Seurat began work on his masterpiece, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, which took him two years to complete.

Later he moved from the Boulevard de Clichy to a quieter studio nearby, where he lived secretly with a young model, Madeleine Knobloch, whom he portrayed in his painting "Jeune femme se poudrant". In February 1890 she gave birth to his son, who was given the first name of Pierre Georges. It was not until two days before Seurat's death that he introduced his young family to his parents[citation needed].

Seurat died in Paris on 29 March 1891. The cause of Seurat's death is uncertain, and has been attributed to a form of meningitis, pneumonia, infectious angina, and/or (most probably) diphtheria. His son died two weeks later from the same disease.[2] His last ambitious work, The Circus, was left unfinished at the time of his death.
