FIGURE-GROUND

How many faces can you see here?

This is a perfect example of one of the Gestalt Laws of Perception: Figure Ground or the Law of Prägnanz. 

"Human brain tends to interpret ambiguous or complex images as simple and complete. In an image the composing elements are perceived as either figures or ground. Background and foreground can be exchanged and in both case they assume a precise meaning."

RECYCLED PAPER JEWELLERY

After Easter we will be doing jewellery with recycling materials. Here we have a few images and videos to help us. You can practice this paper jewellery on Easter, or bring new ideas to class.

HAPPY "EASTER JEWELLERY"!

MATERIAL NEEDED: Magazine pages, acrylic paint, triple thick gloss glaze or nail polish, chains, beads or any other decorative item that you like, gold leaf foil, jewellery findings, cotton or anyother type of cords that you like, paintbrush, white glue, superglue and IMAGINATION.

TEXTURES IN ART

Texture

The visual elements of an image are THE POINT, THE LINE, THE SHAPE, THE COLOUR AND THE TEXTURE.

During these passed first and second terms we have seen four of these visual elements: the Point, the Line, the Shape and the Colour. The next visual element to see is TEXTURE.

TEXTURE is a powerful art element because it can quickly evoke memories and emotions. Start becoming more aware of textures all around you—the carpet, in the clothes you’re wearing, and the fur on your cat. Check these presentation and video to get a better idea of this concept:

DRAWING VIDEO-TUTORIALS

 I agree with Shoo Rayner: "Everyone can draw. Anyone can learn to draw better. Forget about art. Drawing is a language that helps you communicate with others. Get some paper, make some marks and you are drawing!"

"It's not about Art - it's about drawing and anyone can do it. Join in and have a go - you can do it" ; D
