Cubism.

Cubism.

"The Cubist painters rejected the inherited concept that art should copy nature, or that they should adopt the traditional techniques of perspective, modeling, and foreshortening."

Cubism came around in the early twentieth century. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in 1907 and 1914 was the first people to make a painting with cubism. The movement started in 1902 to about the 1920s. After a while of seeing these kinds of painting people started to look for different ways to express their art.

Analytical Cubism - someone would study the painting and break it into two different types of blocks and look at the painting from different angles. And then tell what they see if it looks 3D or if they see something different

 Synthetic Cubism - This type of cubism is adding different types of materials into the art work. Artis would use colour paper, news paper and other materials to represent the different blocks. This made it have brighter colours and lighter mood to the art work. 

Three Musicians (Pablo Picasso)

This painting is by Pablo Picasso. He works with Synthetic Cubism in this painting. When you look at the painting you should see the blue almost right away. I think this was coloured paper and makes it easier to look at instead of having all those different colour. The light browns in the background gives the painting more depth I feel. 

Second idea in progress

When I first got this idea I was thinking about how two animals and humans stand together to complete each other. So in this painting I took to owls and made them sit on a branch together while looking out to the yellow background that is to show the suns colours.

This wasn't one of my ideas to do when I blogged about what kind of ideas I had. When I got this idea I was at home and it hit me so I kept the idea with me all night till I got to school and just started painting. I knew I wanted to do a painting so I started this one.

The only trouble I have had with this painting was the background colour. I blended the colours with my fingers because it felt easyier how to move the paint. The paint brush made it feel like I couldn't blend it the way I wanted it.

The painting is going to say "standing together" the reason why I want it to say this is because I get attached to people fast. And then those people will walk out of your life but you do get some people who will stay with you for everything. This is why I picked the two owls to show that some people do stay with you for a long time. Also that is another reason why it is saying "standing together"

TVO The Agenda

      I know stereotyping is a big problem in the time period we live in. Everyone will be judged at least once in their life. I know aboriginal people are targeted also with other raises. Some people don't like to talk about it but some do. Think about how you would feel about being stereotyped? It probably wont feel good. So why should we do it other people. Like how my teacher in art said it is hard to take the initiative to take time out of their lives to help make a change not just for yourself. But someone is stereotyped it can be hard for them to walk out into the world and not care. Some people can be very sensitive about it. But everyone is there own person and picks who they want to be.

       Also my teacher said that there is a project going on called walking with our sisters. "Each pair of vamps (or “uppers” as they are also called) represents one missing or murdered Indigenous woman."( quote taken from  http://walkingwithoursisters.ca/about/)

 being able to think of this and doing this is amazing. All the people who died or are missing are still being thought of. They will not be forgotten. I think if a group of people got to together and made a big group maybe we could help prevent other people from going missing.

Half way done!

On  my 3 part series one of my ideas was to carve a ball of clay hollow and put a design on it. I have finished the first part of the project but now how to bake it and paint it the way I want it to look.

Day one:

Day two:

Day three:

Day four:

Day five:

The biggest challenge I have had on this was keeping the clay together and not let it crack.I went inside the heart a bit to give it a little more depth. The other challenge I had was picking where to crave to make sure it doesn't look all crammed together. 

UPDATE

It now has been fired all I got to think about is the colour I would want to put on it. I think i want to have a dart back colour and make the heart pop put and make it a brighter colour. For the text ill make it black so it stands out and therefore people will be able to see what it says more. The only part I was scared about is how the clay was cracking on me when i was making it. I just didn't want to to show up again after it was fired but it didn't.
