Culminating final

On Thursday- Friday we worked on our painting for Japan. 

I think it turned out really well.

The background was Carla's idea & to do silhouettes, so I sketched the birds & totem poles while she painted the background & set up where everything would look best at. 

My favorite part about the painting Is the way that carla blended orange yellow and red together to get a nice sunset and it kind of gives a idea of how nice the sunsets actually are here. 

Culminating 1 (Carla's Sketch ideas)

Since carla and I are partners these are her sketches than we are going to combine with something of mine. 

Culminating 2

Yesterday in Art carla and I decided that we would combine her silhouette moose painting and add my tee pee & totem pole idea. 

We haven't decided what material we're going to use yet , but we when we used paint the colors mixed very well and made the sunset look more realstic. This is how it turned out.

And this is how the first sketch looked 

while we were still brain storming ideas.

Heart

IOur project in art was to combine art with another class to make a peice of artwork. I decided to combine biology and art together and paint an heart organ. I chose to paint the heart because it's my favorite part of the human body because it's the main function, and to me it represents control.

I mixed blue and red together with water color to get the results that I did.

I paint splattered red & blue in the back for a blood effect, since it's a heart. 

I also painted the black lines coming out from around the heart to represent veins, arteries, and those kinds of things, but mainly to draw attention to the main thing, which is the heart.

The only colors that I used throughout the whole painting was blue,red & black. 

Culminating sketches

For the art culminating sketches, I decided to sketch these three photos.

The reason that I decided to sketch this photo, a fisherman fishing out of a lake, with a sunset & fishes & seagles...I used pastels because it helps to blend the colors more and make it have a realistic look. I chose to sketch this particular science  Is because i think it represents Ontario/Canada because we do a lot of fishing and the summer sunsets are really beautiful over the lake and not many places can experience the same sight.

I decided to paint this with a q-tip to experiment and see what kind of textures and designs I could make out of it. It is a fall tree and I think it represents Ontario/Canada because in the Fall all the trees look bright orange, red and yellow, expecially in Red Rock. 

For my last sketch I decided to use pencil because totem poles usually have a lot of detail and that's what I sketched, along with clouds, mountains and tall grass. I  think that this represents northern Ontario/ Canada because it expresses the different cultures that we have, and that we have a lot of aboriginal students in our school also.
