Artist - Art Explanation (Lady Pink)

Hey Bloggers! Today we had to pack an artist and explain 3 elements of art in one of their paintings. I have chosen Lady Pink. Lady Pink uses the elements of shape, color and texture in her paintings. 

Lady Pink's Art!

She uses the element of shape because she creates Graffiti Art on walls and shape is a popular use of element in Graffiti Art. She also uses it to express her state of mind and to define her own message and to also express her passion for Graffiti. 

She also uses the element of color to express her art from in a creative way. She has said that using bright colors promote her main message "Women Rights". She also likes to use ranges of colors in different memorials. 

Rubric we had to base the elements off. 

Lastly she uses texture to fade and color inside her art forms of Graffiti. Such as thick color fading into thin colors to maybe send or promote a type of message whether it's going from angry to happy.

Hello! Here is my Visual Mihi I have created on Hyperstudio. We have been asked to draw down 4 things that is important/special to us. Let's begin! In the top left corner are some flags which represent my culture/nationalities. It is the Tongan and Fijian flag flying on a pole with a small icon - a coconut tree which represents the islands. In the top right corner is a Bible and a cross in the sky which represents the lord Jesus, my religion Christianity. In the bottom left corner is letters going across which spells Family. Underneath it is a big red heart with some diamonds on them which means I love my family/them. In the bottom right corner is some icons such as a plane,suitcase,coconut tree,camera,and the statue of librety which represents Travel. I love to travel. And the last one in the middle is a drawing of me. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Mitchell Summer learning journey Day # 15 - Art History

Hey blog viewers! Today is Day 15 of the Summer learning journey. Today's blog post will be about Art history. Let's begin!

Activity 1 - Painting

When you walk into the local gallery, the first piece of artwork that you see is a painting by Wassily Kandinsky called ‘Swinging.’ While I am looking at it, a staff member at the gallery comes up to me and asks me for my opinion of the painting. 

What do I think of it? I have been asked to answer these questions on what I think about it: What do you think of this painting? - I think the painting is very open minded. Do you like it? - Not really, I don't really see any meaning. If you could buy it and give it to someone, who would you choose? - I would choose my Grandmother. I think she would really like it because she has heaps of paintings in her house.

Activity 2 - Kids 100 years ago

After exploring the gallery you decide to walk across the street to the national museum. It is an amazing place! There is so much information about the history of the country in this museum. It’s hard to know where to start!

After pwalking for a little while you come across a display with pictures of children that were taken in 1901 (over 100 years ago)! In this picture, the children are working on a local farm, milking cows. They are not going to school. Back in those days, children usually went to school until they reached the age of 12 or 13. They then left school and went to work. Imagine that you were alive 100 years ago. How would you feel if you had to leave school at the age of 12? Would you be happy or sad? On your blog, tell us how you would feel. If I had to leave school at the age of 12 I would be Sad. I would be sad because people won't learn anymore for the future. That would be very sad. 

Bonus - The battle
In Te papa museum in Wellington is a huge exhibition. It is called Gallipoli The scale of our war. I have been asked to tell you 3 things I learned about the battle.
1. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
2. Every ANZAC day some people remember the soldiers by wearing a red poppy.
3. The ANZAC solider landed on Gallipoli in 1915.
