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) false I was brave - I have completed four distinctly **different** works? Did I avoid lines and outlines? Is my work well proportioned? Did I use texture well? Did I really take a risk and draw what I see, not what I expect or imagine to be there?

Please write me a brief biography. List Van Gogh's major influences Explain why you have chosen his work to study Tell me what you like about his work that you intend to transfer to your own. ​

VINCENT VAN GOGH

For my personal study I have picked to do Vincent Van Gogh. But not to copy his work but to do his style of painting in my pictures. I have picked Vincent because I like his style of work and all the detail in one little bit of his work. What I like about his work is that I want to transfer to my own work is his little brush strokes an detail. Vincent's major influences are Theodorus Van Gogh ( his brother ), Johanna Gesina Van Gogh (Theodorus wife), Anna Cornelia Van Gogh ( his mother ),Theodorus Van Gogh (His farther ), Cornelia Adriana Vos-Stricker, Dr. Félix Rey, ( Doctor who treated Van Gogh in Arles after he cut off part of his left ear lope.) Dr. Paul Gachet.

 * // Through my eyes the whole world is beautiful and colourful. Things can be all sorts of shapes and sizes, big or small, thin or thick. Things can also be ugly aswell, but always different on the inside. //**


 * // Through My Eyes (Artists View) //**


 * // Through Van Goghs the world is dull and plain. But he lived a troubled life and is famous for his extreme gesture of love. He cut his earlobe off for a lady but she rejected him. But I still like him because I really liked his little brush strokes and texture because he is one of the most famous artists. //**

 * // Through my eyes it's very calm but always something thats colourful and amazing. Sometimes its packed and sometimes there might only be one thing there but its always worth looking at. //**

I personly love this film beacuse its very funny theres great action, acting and the music brings this hole film together. Everyone in this film stayed acting and it felt like they breathed and lived their part that they played. When They are getting chased by a dinosaur there is very godd ghraphics.
