Slinkachu - Arts

For the half of our term we have been learning about slinkachu. We do some research some information about the founder and different examples of it. Our teach share a slides to each one of us to complete before the school year ends. In the slide you can see some information explaining what is slinkachu and more detail about the different slinkachu project. After we have done this part, we choose our own example and identify the different composition of art. On our chosen image we started to identify what is the focal point, leading line,asymmetry and symmetry. 

After identify this things on our own chose image, we started to sketch it. Basically, in this part we're just copying the image, we did the same thing with both of this activity. After this two tasks the next thing is all about doing and making our own slinkachu. It took me a long time to be able to have any idea and inspiration for my work. After spending a few weeks for my slinkachu idea, I finally came up with my own idea. You can find all the information about it on the last slides. 

Photography - Visual Arts

 Yesterday for arts we have been spending some time taking some pictures using some toys. We have a dinosaur and soldiers toys. Some of the photos that we take is outside, we use plants for their background so it will look like that it is in the forest. I also analyse my photography and find out what is the focal point, rule of thirds, leading lines and symmetry/asymmetry.  

Focal Point -  On my photography you can see that the focus is on the dinosaur so I will say that the focal point is the dinosaur figure.

Leading Line - I can't see any leading lines on the photo.

Symmetry/Asymmetry - For this photography I think there is not symmetry because none of the figure that we used didn't make any reflection or shadows.

Photography - Visual Arts

Last week we have been taking some photos using some of the soldiers figure. We take some pictures outside and inside the building, so we have a lot of different types of photography. After we take some pictures we choose of them and we did a little bit of summary about it. We answer some questions about that photography. We use the emulation matrix that our teacher gave to us to answer some question. Here are some of the photos that we have been taken last week. 

This is the summary that I did using the photo that I take.

Subject Matter	Form	Composition	Content/ Meaning
What do you see in the photograph? I can see the soldier with many pieces of woods around it and in the background.	Is your photograph in black and white or colour?  My photograph is black and white.	How have you used focal points and leading lines?  We used the army as the focal points and some of the wood is the leading lines.	What was your initial reaction to the photograph? At first I found it cool because the colour saying that this photograph was taken long time ago.
Does the photograph include subject matter you don’t want? No, because i like this photo so much.	Do your figures stand-out from their surroundings or are they hidden? The army is not that obvious because the colour of the photo is making it the same colour with the background of this image.	Do you use symmetry or asymmetry? Have you used the Rule of Thirds? I can't say that we used any of these things in my photography.	Does  your photography appear to be a real scene?  It is showing a war that happened a long time ago.	What were your i-pad camera settings?  We used a filter to make the photography be more realistic.
If you do have unwanted subject matter, how would you change the next reshoot?  I don’t like that there are a lot of woods and it makes the photography confusing so next time i will make the camera higher so there not alot of woods covering the soldier.	What is the direction of the light? Is the light strong or soft? Do you have cast shadows?  The light is soft because we used a different filter so it changes the lighting of the image.	Is there a shallow or deep space represented? Is your camera angle low or high?  We use a low angle to take this photography.	Does the photograph express an idea? Explain My photography is showing the idea of war after a long time.
	Do you use close-ups or distant views? We used a medium close up in my photography.

Photomontage

Last week we started our first topic for this semester. We are learning about photo montage. Our teacher gave us some images that we can use to make our own photo montage. Photo montage is a type of photography that you can do by putting the different images together. This is the first time that I did this and I am really happy because I get a chance to try this kind of things.
