The Big Draw.

Today when we got in to class we had to sit down and watch the PowerPoint given by Lucy showing 8 artists who were all different and famous for their different artistic gifts.

The artists shown were Terry Frost who was an abstract artist, Anish Kapoor who was a Sculptor, Paul Strand who was a Photographer, Alberto Giacometti who was a Sculptor and a painter, And Warhol who was a Pop Artist, Patrick Caulfield who was an Illustration and Graphics designer and Alexander McQueen who was a fashion designer. In our groups we each had to choose a different artist and create one of their pictures and turn it into our own.

We chose Terry Frost. Once we had all chose our artist we then had to gather information about our artist from the LRC using books, magazines and the internet. We then had to print out that information, highlight interesting facts and make notes on techniques and processes used by the artist. We then had to produce a mind map to show our findings, then within our group we had to produce an A1 painting of one of our researched images, using the skills we have learnt such as mixing colors, texture, line, shading and scale.

We had to docs shot our working progress and evaluate our findings, print out 5 of our photo images and annotate how we felt about the work including skills we had learnt and presentation of ideas. Once we had completed all of the above we had to present the piece we had finished within our groups to the rest of the class and write an evaluation of the task.

Below are some of the photos that we took whilst working on our image.
