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
 * WALTS:**

Pop Art: Use lines to transform your portrait into areas of distinct light or dark (pop art style)

I was brave - I have completed four distinctly **different** works? Did I avoid lines and outlines? In some of my artworks i did. Is my work well proportioned? Did I use texture well? Sort of not really well. Did I really take a risk and draw what I see, not what I expect or imagine to be there? Yes i took the risk and all my paintings came out well then i expected.
 * Success Criteria**

Cause of the detail and lighting. i like playing it rough and being brave with certain styles. If I was to choose a tiny bit of my work that I love - what would it be and why? It would be the lighting and because it makes the picture stand out and make it look realistic.
 * Questions to challenge myself!**
 * //Why//** do I like or not like a particular work?
 * //Why//** did I enjoy or not enjoy a particular style?

 * Next steps for myself?**

List Constable's major influences His father wanted him to be in the corn industry but then he fell in love with painting and nature. Explain why you have chosen his work to study I choose John Constable because he creates the most unique work of landscapes. His detail in his paintings are amazing and makes the picture stand out and make it more interesting. Tell me what you have learnt from copying his work that you will try to bring into your own. How to detail my painting very well and how to make it stand out. What 'style' of artist was Constable? John Constable was a english romantic painter. He loved painting landscapes. [] Have a look at Edward Hopper - tell me what you think? Mr Macleod wondered if you'd like this work because he sees the light in a similar way to Constable. []

Through My Eyes

The world is a big place, its not perfect and its not fair, it is just right. There is good in the world and there is also bad. The world is a really tough place but thats life. A little fighting, protesting, riots through history made the world as it is. We live by rules so the boundaries don't get crossed. The world as we know it will come to an end. The world changes every day. People are friendly, some are not so friendly. That's why we have policemen and other special people who deal with people like this. The world is a free world.

Through my eyes

My personal studies have been tough, because you drive your own learning but its worth it at the end. My inspiration was John Constable an english romantic painter. He painted landscapes and such. My teacher introduced me to another painter called Edward Hooper. He was another inspiration to me. His art was based around light and angles. I have learnt how to paint light and dark with style and detail to my art.

What I learnt in the arts class.... I learnt how to draw and paint my art work by drawing what I see not what i imagine How to write a letter and paragraph it. How to do biography's. Artists background and history. Ratio in maths. How to paint landscapes. How to detail my work. Pop Art Wood Cuts. How to draw self portraits. All sorts of different art. We did some graffiti art work. We copied some logo's, icon's, free form, and also urban characters.

Ms Haywood taught me the skill of writing a formal letter to the liquor store and John Constable showed me how to detail my work through his art work and also Edward Hooper.
