Week 5

During his week I have finished all 20 of the glossary pages. Including proportion, Harmony and Space.

I also used terms from the print making working such as chine colle and la poupee. To do these I used two examples of work I had created in the workshop.
For chine colle i cut away the zebra and elephant from tissue paper and stuck this to parcel paper. Then suing my lino print from the printmaking workshop, I used white ink to press onto the page.

For la poupee i used three different colours on the lino block:brown, purple and red.

For proportion, I used a picture I had found on Pinterest. I used the initial design and then incorporated my own background, keeping it remotely the same, using similar colours .

For space I did not want to do a black and white picture that appeared to be a commonly used idea. Therefore, i took the literal word of space and placed a hand in space. I cut out a hand and placed it on the page, painting around it in black. I then mixed colours to get a light shade of blue and purple and a 'hot pink' Using a sponge I then dabbed the paint across the page to create a nebula effect. To finish the piece i then flicked white paint across the page to create stars using my thumb and index finger.

Harmony was the one i found the most difficult. I decided to use a harmonious pattern using harmonious colours. I cut small hands from two shades of pink and a purple card and placed them in a spiral pattern.

I also started and finished Value and Emphasis.
For Value I used water colours to create the gradient effect of the background, starting from the bottom and working to the top so the colour washes out towards the top of the page. I then painted the hand black again using water colours.

For emphasis i traced the image of the bird and women onto newspaper, filling it in with ink. I then let the ink run from the bottom.

I also finally finished the pattern piece. However, I did not have access to the right colour of cream pencil so I had to leave the background white
