Drawing of a landscape

In art lesson we had to draw a landscape in aerial perspective, I got a 6.5 for my drawing, because it wasn't finished. I was ill at the time we could finish the drawing, but a 6.5 is all right. Also the colours from the aerial perspective were supposed to be the other way around and I did that wrong. So I think I could do better, also on other points. 

Colour theory of Itten

Johannes Itten was born on the 11th of November 1888 in Südern-Lindern in Switzerland. He was a Swiss expressionist painter and he wanted to teach on the primary school, so he went to the Teacher Trainings Institute in Bern. after that he may also teach on secondary schools, but he didn't go to teach there and became a painter and in 1913 he was teached by Adolf Hölzel. 6 years later he Johannes Itten went to teach at the Bauhaus in Weimar. he taught there till 1922. later on he became very successful, in 1926 he had his own art school, he became the director of a museum and a school, he won prizes and wrote books about the colour theory he has made. He was a very successful and hard-working man, he died on the 27th of May 1967.




The colour theory of Itten: in the picture you can see the colour wheel of Itten. There are different types of colours :


Primary colours: are in the centre of the colour wheel: red, yellow and blue.


Secondary colours: are produced from the mixing of one primary colour with another. These colours are orange, green and violet.


Tertiary colours: are created whten mixing one secondary and one primary colour. i.e. blue + violet = blue-violet. The tertiary colours are: yellow-orange, red-orange, red-violet, blue-violet, blue-green and yellow-green.


Complementary colours: are opposite on the colour wheel. Red and green, yellow and violet, blue and orange, are the three simple pairs of complementary colours. These colours always go well with each other.


Warm colours: are colours we associate with the sun and fire. They are red, yellow and orange.


Cool colours: are colours we associate with the sea and cold, chilly weather. They are blue, green and some kinds of purple (blueish purple).


Adding white to a colour is known as a tint and adding black to a colour is referred to as a shade.

We had to make a colour mixing sheet in art class mine was lost so I had something else that represents the mixing of colours. I had a 5.5 for it, I think I could do better. We had to do it with paint and i'm not good at painting 

Banknote Assignment

 At school we had to draw our own banknote, first with pencil and then with East-Indian ink. We've also got a mark for this assignment. I've got a 6.5 for this assignment. I think I could do it better; more patterns, more clear lines and I also don't have to spill so much ink anymore. But i think it is a moderate mark, anyway I'm glad that it wasn't an insufficient mark.

My grafitti art work

This is my grafitti art work.

I had to do this for a mark.

My mark was a 6.5.

But, I think I could do it better.

I hadn't such a high mark, because in my drawing is difficult to see what I really like.

But next time, I will try to make clear what I really want to show in my drawing.

 

The Flying Dutchman

This is a statue of the ship of The Flying Dutchman (a legend)
I have chosen for this piece of art because l like the stories about The Flying Dutchman. I also like to watch the movie: Pirates of the Caribbean which is based on the legend of The Flying Dutchman.  Another reason why I have chosen for this piece of art, is that I like the statue ( in the picture above) with the ship and waves on it. This statue is located on the Scheldeboulevard in Terneuzen and is made by Joeri Stubbe in 2007.
