In Week 6, according to my post last week, it was Sea Week! Our class created a presentation about information you have to know about our chosen marine animal! For it, I chose a Sperm Whale, if you haven't seen my previous post. Please do check it out! I will give a link to my Sea Week presentation. Anyway, we created an art of a whale using dye, this art was inspired by an artist named Michelle Fleur, who draws thousands and thousands kinds of whales using watercolour/dye!
Moving on to how we created our art, we started to experiment with using dye on scrap paper. Next, we created a sketch of the real art and used a model of a real whale to guide us. After, we used dye to colour the creature, and for finishing touches.. we used white paint to draw the 'rorqual', or the lines under the whale starting from its throat and to its stomach.
Here's my whale art. Thank you for visiting my blog!

Hey Hanna I am Litea from New Windsor School. I really like your water art it looks amazing. How did you make the lines on the whale? Well it looks great.
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon Litea!
DeleteMy name is Hannah from Saint Mary's Primary Catholic School here in Gisborne, I appreciate you commenting on my post and for the compliment!
I created the lines on the whale by sketching it using only a pencil. Well actually, to start everything off, I sketched lightly in a brand new piece of paper for the real art, next I used dye to colour and let the whale come to life. I made sure the layer of dye wasn't very thick, so a little bit of the pencil sketching was still visible, then traced the pencil sketch with a sharpie, then next to the lines are white paint! I hope I explained well, blog you later!
Ma te wa,
Hannah
Hi Hannah,I'm Abid from New Windsor School. I really liked your whale art it's impressive. If its one thing I know .... your way better then me. How did you get so good at art?
ReplyDeleteHello Abid, nice to meet you!
DeleteThe compliment is so nice of you, thank you very much. And I usually am not good at art subjects, especially drawing. It's something that has not worked out for me well, because I lack at skills, but when it comes to shading and colouring, dye, or paint. I manage to have a good finished product.
Have you tried dye or paint? How did it work out for you? What was the art about? Let me know!
