Dilution

 In Art, we have been doing dilution painting. Dilution painting is about using paint as a wash.  To do this, we mixed white paint with water. If we wanted a lighter colour. we added more water and if we wanted a brighter colour, we added more paint.

Here is a matrix reflection on what I did:

Stencil Art

Stencils are fun to paint with. To have fun in art, we did stencil art. To do this we had to draw what we wanted as our stencil on a card and cut it out. Once we had cut out our stencil, we practised painting it a couple of times. When we were sure to use this stencil, we made it into a painting. We made our background to match the meaning of the painting.

The subject matter is the rabbit. It is a portrait of a family of rabbits.  I have combined my stencil with a grassy landscape. The painting is more about colour. My colours set a mood of the structure of the picture space. The chief interest of my painting is the stencil shape. This stencil expresses an idea of the situation. The meaning of my stencil changes the way I painted it.

Here are the pictures if you can't see the ones in the doc properly.

 This is the stencil.           

 This is the practise stencil

 This is the final product.

Tonal Drawing- Art

In art, we are doing tonal drawings. We were to choose a street art and make a black and white tonal drawing. I chose a butterfly. My drawing doesn't exactly look like the butterfly because it is not coloured in detail.

(I draw really bad)

Street Art

In Art, we are doing some research on street art. We were given some links to sites where we could find interesting street art. After we chose the best art, we were to make a Dlo and talk about it. I made my Dlo on google drawing. Here is what it looks like.


This art is so colourful and has a deep meaning. I really like the use of the colour to give meaning to it. To me, it seems like a jellyfish swimming delight and freedom. Everyone has different thinking when they see this art. What's yours?

I have also included the location where you can see this. It is in Christchurch. Here is the link to the site where you can find more amazing street art!- Watch this space
