The main reason i chosed the arts based class is because Iwanted to try something new.
Draw what you can SEE not what you **imagine** will be there I think i have drawn what i have seen and not what i have imagined. Tone: Look for the light and dark areas In my pop art i have made the black, black and made the white, white. Fill in your portrait using light and dark **texture** as opposed to lines I feel i have done a good job of just using shade. Be brave - avoid pretty, dark is dark, light is light In my pop art i have donea good job of that. No outlines - do not draw the outline first - start with the eyes and work out I have completed all my art like that. Proportion: Use some tricks and good observation to complete a portrait with good proportion I used the different shades of the crayon to use proportion. Pop Art: Use lines to transform your portrait into areas of distinct light or dark (pop art style) It was kind of hard changing from not using lines to using lines.
 * WALTS:**

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?
 * Success Criteria**

If I was to choose a tiny bit of my work that I love - what would it be and why?
 * Questions to challenge myself!**
 * //Why//** do I like or not like a particular work?
 * //Why//** did I enjoy or not enjoy a particular style?

Fact Leonardo Da Vinci was left handed he wrote backwards so the ink wouldn't stain his hands. He was also a scientist And an engineer.

The Mona Lisa, aside from being one of the most recognized works in the history of art, is also one of the most widely reproduced works ever. Of course there are numerous Da Vinci posters available, many of which are of The Mona Lisa, available in different hues and a variety of sizes, there are also many other reproductions of the work. For instance, **Andy Warhol** used the Mona Lisa in the creation of one of his prints, and **Botero** reproduced his own version of The Mona Lisa, a cartoon-like oil painting. In 1954, **Salvador Dali** created a self-portrait of himself as Mona Lisa.

The use of the Mona Lisa doesn't stop there, The Mona Lisa has been the inspiration behind many novelty items such as clothing, jewelery and houseware.

Leonardo Didn't just paint he also made war machine blueprints such as machine gun, catapult, clusterbomb, barrage cannon and alson the tank the list goes on.

Da Vinci's helicopter,

Leonardo Da Vinci is credited with having first thought of a machine for vertical flight. His sketch of the airscrew dated 1493, was not discovered until the 19th century. It consisted of a platform mounted by a helical screw driven by a rudimentary system, not unlike that of rubber band-powered model aircraft. Da Vinci’s notes state “if this instrument in the form of a screw were well made of linen , the pores of which had been stopped with starch, it should, upon being turned sharply, rise into the air in a spiral”. His design, however, was never put to any use.
