Cross hatched man.

Cross Hatching picture and blog post.- Cross Hatching art. W.A.L.T: draw using cross hatching for shading. EXPLANATION- This week while our teacher was reading our shared book to our class, we were told that we had an art project to complete. So being a day late to start I tried to have a go and this is around 2 to 4 hours after I started. REFLECTION- This is not the sort of art I like doing but I gave it a go. My favourite type of art/ drawing is drawing freely. This piece of art is very different to what I’m used to. If you want to have a go here is the link...https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=45&v=C1FqGzdJCCI&feature=emb_logo. What other sort of art should I try?

Pointillism Apple .

 
Walt- draw an apple with Pointillism.
 Explanation-  Around a week ago I  had a go at drawing a pointillism apple, in my opinion my first go was amazing. I then tried to have a go again and I couldn't even get the start right! I must have tried it around three or four times then I gave up. First time must be the charm (whatever that means.) 
Reflection-  I had so much fun attempting this and I never enjoyed Pointillism much but this may have changed my mind.  If you want to give Apple Pointillism here is the link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eec0qXQ1QEw&list=PLANTMY9uO1DT3fGKWa8p9KMxMkxHNbUse&index=14
Question- Have you ever attempted Pointillism? and What did you draw using Pointillism?

Some of my quick drawings.

Please watch this slideshow full of all my drawings during quarantine. I'm very proud of them. I will show more drawings as I create more.

still life hand drawing.

A little while ago I coloured in a picture and when I showed my dad he asked me is that a still life hand drawing. I answered no and decided to give it a try so I focused on my right hand and tried to draw it. First I drew the outline of my hand starting with my thumb then all the way to my pinkie. Then I added detail's and realized that it sort of looked like a monster hand so I added a scar and little bit of red and smudged it. This is what it looked like in the end. I don't draw freehand much sometimes  i'll copy off an image but it never looks quite the same. What other things should I try and draw.

Creative Crafts

This is a slideshow with a few crafts that have tried and would recommend that you try. More and more will be added as I try other arts and crafts. Also do you have any craft ideas for me to try.

My cooking project Weetbix chocolate slice

I enjoy backing and cooking and do it quite often, occasionally with the help from my mum.

Around 3 days ago I made a Weetbix chocolate crunch which was quite simple. It made around 16 slices and it could have made more depending on how big you wanted the slices to be. Here are the ingredients that I used:

• 140g Butter
• 1 cup Flour
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 1 cup Raisins
• 1 tbsp Cocoa
• 1/2 cup Brown sugar
• 3 crushed Weetbix

           Icing

• 2 cups Icing sugar
• 1 tsp Cocoa
• dribble warm water
• 1 tbsp Butter (melted)

And these are the steps to making it:

Firstly what you need to do is sift the flour, baking powder and cocoa into a bowl and mix it together.
Then add sugar Weetbix and raisins, Mix.
 Next you are going to need to melt the butter and pour it over the dry ingredients then mix.
After that you press it into a tin and bake at 180 degrees fan bake for around 20 minutes.
 Lastly all you do is mix the Icing sugar, cocoa,water and butter to make a runny icing that you will just pour over the cooled slice.( don't worry about spreading it).
When it is all set just cut it and ENJOY.

I hope you enjoyed this recipe it was really fun to make and tasted good to. The Whole slice is now gone there are only crumbs left. What other recipes should I try next?

  

My blended Pastel art.

MY blended Pastel art.

This pastel art I've created was made with dark Pink, light Pink, White and Black pastels. Our W.A.L.T was blending and shading using oil pastel media. My friend and I used the same colours as each others drawings turned out totally different. We were given a video to watch showing us how to create a blended drawing with a silhouette in the background, as you can see in the picture. This is a link so that you can see the video as well and possibly try this yourself Pastel Art Video. This was probably my favourite piece of art that I did this year. I enjoy working with pastels it’s amazing seeing all of the colours blend together. Please let me know if you have ever tried anything like this before and how it went for you.
