Art Class 26/01/11

Today we used acrylic paints to paint a still life that was positioned in front of us. We were mainly just experimenting with colour and so I took it as a great opportunity to see which colours work well together. I feel the red and yellows are extremely warm and work subtly together. Yet the purple of the light with the yellow background is striking, causing a lot of dramatic contrast.

Sound Experiment

I used a commercial I found online to add sound using Logic Pro. I decided to make all sounds realistic to the scene, which is why I chose sounds such as a door opening, dog barking, truck going past etc. I used sound effects that were available to me in Logic Pro, yet there are some I could record myself such as the door and footsteps on the gravel.

In this class, we used charcoal to draw from a still life that has been placed in the centre of the room. There were many curved objects that had been set up, making it particularly hard to create movement, as charcoal tends to smudge and become quite messy. It is also hard to gradually create tone with this medium.

This is an oil painting I did using a photograph I had taken from one of my very first blog posts of lilies outside. I focused very much on colour, blending many shades together to see the effect. I found that purple really made the yellow stand out and jump off the page, probably being because they are strong complementary colours on the colour wheel. Reds and greens also worked very well together.

Below are some quick sketches using different pencils such as HB, 4B and graphite sticks. They were drawn from pages of magazines as I quickly flicked through them. Each character took about 3 minutes and I feel it really helped me explore my skills, deciding which detail was most important and effective. 

Montage

I created this montage using Final Cut Pro. I wanted to show the stress and panic that the fish feels after the man is fishing for it and it becomes hooked. At the beginning the shots are longer, setting the scene. However, suspension slowly builds when the shots become shorter. The tea cups here look extremely quick paced and chaotic which is probably what the fish is going through as it tries to escape.
