Draw what you can SEE not what you **imagine** will be there Tone: Look for the light and dark areas Fill in your portrait using light and dark **texture** as opposed to lines Be brave - avoid pretty, dark is dark, light is light No outlines - do not draw the outline first - start with the eyes and work out Proportion: Use some tricks and good observation to complete a portrait with good proportion Pop Art: Use lines to transform your portrait into areas of distinct light or dark (pop art style)
 * WALTS:**

I have completed the four different art works and I avoided the lines on my artworks my work is well proportioned and I tried to use texture, I dont think I really took a risk because im used to everything being neat in my work and I tried to draw what I saw not what I imagined.
 * Success Criteria**

//Why//** do I like or not like a particular work?- I didnt like my portrait on my white paper because it was hard to make it really dark with the black and white colours without it looking like pop art. If I was to choose a tiny bit of my work that I love - what would it be and why? i loved the white and shading around the eyes of my portrait on my black paper because it really stands out. i need to work on really risking things instead of trying to make them neat!
 * Questions to challenge myself!
 * //Why//** did I enjoy or not enjoy a particular style?- i liked the pop art because it was alot easier to go either black or white

//Robert genn was born in victoria, in 1936, he attended university of victoria, the university or british columbia and the art centre school in Los Angeles, California. robert genn thinks// //it's possible to make art out of anything. He follows his nose until he loses interest in a subject and then he moves on. Robert genn's paintings have lots of colour and his work has a great style, he works on lots of different size canvases. robert genn usually works with acrylic but he has worked with silk screen printing, oils and water colour before, his style of art is ranged from landscape - portraite, i have chosen this artist to study because i love his style and its very simular to robert kings style lots of different colours, robert king and robert genn are very simular artist .//

//My view of the world//.


 * // Through My Eyes (World View)

Through my eyes New Zealand is a lucky country, they don't get all the wars or the bad floods, they're a good fair country, but the other countries resolve their disagreements with fighting.

Through My Eyes (Art View)

Through my eyes my artwork has the tired sun setting behind the hill, the crashing, spraying waves against the different coloured rocks. Through my painting it shows the world a beautiful place.

Through My Eyes (Artist View) Robert King

Through his eyes he paints the relaxing sunset in the sky, the crashing of the waves jumping out to play, he loves to paint the spray of the waves. Through his eyes he sees the world as a good & bad place.
