My Japanese Art!

Hello! For Art we created a unique kind of artwork! This was made by using pastels and blending the colours all together. Our artwork was inspired by the Japanese flag, pagodas, and cherry blossoms. This activity was based in Japan, where the Olympics 2020 was hosted!

To make this artwork we watched a video guiding us step by step on how to make this artwork. The colours of pastels you will need are red, yellow, orange, and brown for the sunset, black for the cherry blossoms and the pagoda, and a large sheet of paper (thick enough for the pastel). You have to leave a blank circle in the center which represents the sun, colour outside of the circle, first yellow, second orange, third red, and lastly brown. The rest of the tutorial will be in the youtube link at the end.

I  enjoyed doing this activity! It was really fun and I hope to be able to do something similar to this in the future! Have you done any Japanese-related art before? What was it? Let me know in the comments!
