Impressionism Painting

In class, we did a painting on impressionism. Impressionism became famous with Claude Monet. He made wonderful paintings that everyone wanted to see. Our project was to do the same and make an impressionism painting. We chose landscapes out of magazines and started painting. We used dabs of paint and if we wanted to mix colors we would put two dabs of paint that were different colors very close together. The closer you look in an impressionism painting the more you can see the dabs of color stuck together but if you look at it from a distance it looks realistic and it doesn't seem like you put dabs of color together. Impressionism is a nice way to make a painting. And that's why we did it in class.

Upside Down Painting

In class we did a project where we had to draw something in columns but we didn't know what it was. When Ms. Bammi showed us the first column and told us to draw it we did. Each column was filled with lines. Lines that bent, twisted and turned. Half way through some people started to pick up that it was an upside down man. This drawing was made by Picasso. After people started seeing it they just continued with the lines. Unfortunately, when it was more visible people started to try drawing the man instead of following the lines. Including me. And it ended with the man having a black head and white body. I was disappointed and I learned that if you see the man in the upside down drawing continue to follow the lines. It will make your picture look absolutely amazing.

Lines

Our class did a project on lines. We found things around the class that were 3D. Something we could draw that looked like it was coming out. Our class had so much fun. We found the items, drew them and after colored them in. After that Ms. Bammi gave us a black sheet of paper and said we should put the pictures together but leave it all connected. We did it and all of our pictures looked great. My picture were these things put together:

A glass, a cupcake, a hat, a marker and a pair of glasses.

I put the cupcake in the glass because it's a cup. You get it? Cupcake? and i just put the glasses and marker stuck in like an ice cream sundae. But instead of chocolate sticks a marker and glasses. And for the finishing touch I made the hat hang from the glasses. That's what we did in class for lines.

Seeing Music Through Lines

Recently, my class finished a project on seeing lines. We looked at a few artists ways of drawing with lines and how powerful lines are. We got involved with seeing music. So our teacher picked out some music and we drew the first thing that came into our head. Straight lines, curvy lines, diagonal lines and so on. All of us were really into the painting because we kept asking our teacher to play the music again. It was fun and we got to know more about artists who use lines to express what they want to say. The reason we got involved with SEEING music is because our teacher showed us an artist who had something so when he listened to music he could see what was happening. That's why we decided to do a project on seeing music.
