T - shirt

 

In this unit, I had to do a bunch of stuff for the t shirt.

At first, I had to do planning, trying to draw miniature life objects and thumbnails then I had to draw a final drawing for my t shirt and ink it then turn it into a screen film. I then had to try and screen printed my drawing on my t shirt. 

The meaning of this shirt was really random, I didn't mean it on purpose. I was doodling in my sketchbook trying to get up with ideas. So as I was drawing this teddy bear which I already have it at home. This teddy bear has a "London" on it and England's flag so my friend was like, "why don't you change it into your country's name and flag?". 

I thought it was a good idea so I went for it, as I was doing so, more ideas came to my mind like the pyramids and the trees. I am proud of my work because this unit was somewhat hard but I happy that I got to make a t shirt that symbolize my country. 

Earthscape painting

The location I chose for this unit was Sharm El- Sheikh, Egypt. The reason I chose this place was because I used to go there every short and long holiday, I kind of grew up there too. This is my favourite place because I enjoy my time there chilling, relaxing, meeting new people from different countries and those who work there. I used to enjoy and learn from people who worked there about their adventures and experiences. They taught me how to dive and told me about a lot of stories about Sharm El- Sheikh. As I grew up, I did not get the chance to visit Sharm El-Sheikh anymore which is sad because I love it there, it's like home.

Doing an Earthscape painting about this place was somewhat hard but fun. It was hard to make the painting realistic so I had to mix different colours and use different tones to look like it. It was a fun unit because I am a huge fan of painting. 

However, I am glad that we had this unit because it bought so much nice memories back and I am happy that I finished this painting to put it up on the wall. 

Self Portrait with Chalk Pastel

At first, I had to practice with the grid drawing before I actually do the Chalk Pastel portrait. After practicing, I was able to do the grid drawing properly and I indeed liked doing grid drawing now because I used to dislike it when I started learning. 

However, I had a lot of fun working on the Chalk Pastel Portrait though there was a lot of mess caused by me...

 Although, the portrait may not look exactly like the original but it is easy to recognize me in the portrait and I love the colors I used! I am proud of what I've done and definitely looking forward to do more of Chalk Pastel Portraits!

Fauvism by Henri Matisse

Woman with a Hat:

First exhibited at the 1905 Salon d'Automne in Paris, this work was at the center of the controversy that led to the christening of the first modern art movement of the twentieth century — Fauvism. 

Femme au chapeau marked a stylistic change from the regulated brushstrokes of Matisse's earlier work to a more expressive individual style. His use of non-naturalistic colors and loose brushwork, which contributed to a sketchy or "unfinished" quality, seemed shocking to the viewers of the day.

The artist's wife, Amélie, posed for this half-length portrait. She is depicted in an elaborate outfit with classic attributes of the French bourgeoisie: a gloved arm holding a fan and an elaborate hat perched atop her head. Her costume’s vibrant hues are purely expressive, however; when asked about the hue of the dress Madame Matisse was actually wearing when she posed for the portrait, the artist allegedly replied, "Black, of course."

 Madras Rouge:

This painting is called the Madras Rouge and features a lady wearing a red madras headdress. The lady is sitting down and her body is slightly slouched to her left. The lady’s left arm overlaps her right arm, and she also has a sort of yellow pattern applied to her headdress. The lady's gown is black and is patterned with brown flowers. This painting has been specially converted into vector format, meaning that it can be scaled without losing quality.

Artists like Chuck Close

This picture of John Lennon is by Ed Chapman who is one of the UK's leading mosaic artists working in ceramic and glass tile.His work incorporates all sorts of iconic imagery and his 3-D works are exciting and stylish, as well as being instantly recognizable. Ed Chapman had made portraits of Angelina Julie, Nelson Mandela, Albert Einstein and other famous people.

This picture is a Composite Polaroid by David Hockney who was perhaps the most popular and versatile British artist of the 20th century. Instead of using paints, he used his camera and glued the pictures together which resulted in composite picture.

Six Self - Portraits

Portrait One                                                                  Portrait Two

 Portrait Three                                                           Portrait Four

          Portrait Five                                                       Portrait Six                                                                                                                                  

These are my Six Self Portrait for the "Why So Serious" Art Project. I like portrait one and two because they look like me but with a normal and silly expression. In portrait three my hair was super curly and I wasn't wearing my glasses, this portrait reminds me of Princess Merida from the movie Brave. Portrait four was kind of the hardest one to make since in the original photo the background is dark and it was hard to show the slightly details. Portrait five is funny for me because I was supposed to make it look like me with the penguin hat but no matter how hard I tried to fix the face, I will always look like Shrek in this portrait. I like portrait six because it looks pretty and a bit like me without glasses.

MY FIRST SELF- PORTRAIT

 MY FIRST SELF- PORTRAIT

This is the first picture I drew for the project, "why so serious". I chose this picture because it did really look like me. I do love the hair since it is curly and looks a lot like mine in real. Though the jaw may not look exactly like mine but hopefully with a continuous practice I shall become better at drawing self-portraits.
