This last week I painted a macro landscape. I took a picture of a rose for photo class and decided to also use it in art classes because I love the colors and shapes. Skills I used were color and proportion, there had to be a foreground, middle ground and background which I tried to include in my landscape even though it was a macro. I used the art element shape and form while drawing and show space by putting the fence behind the flower. Using water paint I showed contrast and emphasis. The mood of this macro landscape is peaceful or hopeful.. This type of painting is known as Disney painting which uses layering in landscape. In my drawing I made 4 layers of trees. The farthest back layer is lightest and the front tree is large and dark. Line value and shape are shown in the painting done with acrilycs. The elements create overall proportion of small to big and rythem of light to dark. The overall mood is spooky. My dream time painting was done in acrilyc painting using warm red, yellow and oranges and cool blues and purples. This used dots to show time and also gives the painting texture. The painting shows contrast within the colors and in the mood. The story shows s person feeling trapped while there is a joyful sun outside of their dark area. There is emphasis on the big shapes. |
