Optical Illusions in photography

Exploding your minds

A self-portrait is a representation of an artist, drawn, painted, photographed, or sculpted by the artist.

Self-portraits have been made by artists since the earliest times.

In the later 20th century and more so in the 21st century, new techniques and video are playing a part in furthering self-portraiture (artworks, crafts, videoblogs, digital self-portraits, selfie, etc.).

There are many different ways to make a self-portrait. It has not to be a traditional drawing or painting of your face.

"For a university project I was asked to produce 50 different paintings in completely different styles. I thought it would be a challenge to 50 self portraits. I had the whole summer to complete the project, but only left myself a week to do it.

I started off my researching my favourite artists hoping to generate a list of 50 styles. I decided on 25 to begin with and began painting then. I did a painting every 1-2 hours depending on the complexity of the style I was replicating. Styles varied from traditional painters such as Van Gogh, Picasso and Rembrandt to modern artists such as Chuck Close, Jenny Saville and many others. I produced a few cartoon versions of myself such as a Simpsons character, Beano character and in a Manga style."

EXPLORING YOUR IDENTITY
Making a self-portrait is a great way to express and explore your identity.

1st of ESO: Exploring
The idea is to do the silhouettes of your head and fill in your head with a magazine collage of what is going in your brain, what you prefer, what you are fond of...

Idea from: http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/elem/selfport.htm#Names

Readers Digest

Ideas to get you started: clothes, music, words, sports, food, people you admire, singers, actors...
Trace your head on two white papers (using the window). Then filled in the head shape with magazine images in one of the papers. The second one will be the template of the final frame of your self-portrait, so, you will have to cut out the inside part. Let's do it.

• An example used in a TV advertisment: "Bebamos de la naturaleza".
• Here you will find some examples

2nd of ESO: Exploding

Create a collage illustration using your self-portrait picture (A3).

Picasso/Picassa inspired recycled portrait

 

Take a look at your classmates artworks

Lines in Art: Picassa !

You are going to practice a portrait in Picasso´s double face style again. Now, it will be a woman, and... you will have to choose one of these options:

1. Color it with warm and cold colors (front view and side view -profile- with different temperature of color)
2. Just use pieces of paper to create a beautiful collage (front view and side viwe with different temperature of color).

Follow the instructions and... I will stop the video at intervals.

LET'S DO IT!

Pointillism and Augmented Reality

1. Sketch 6 or 7 aliens, monsters, Martians, universe beings...
2. Chose your favourite one and color it.
3. Draw it in a big scale to fit the DOT DAY Quiver template and use pointillist technique to color it. Do not forget that you have to use only primary colors.

4. Use your mobile device to have your "universe being" alive with augmented reality!!!
5. Screenshot an image with your hand or face inside!!!

DOTS - Constellations

SCRATCH ART

Dots creating shapes

A constellation is a group of stars forming a recognizable pattern that is traditionally named after its apparent form or identified with a mythological figure. Modern astronomers divide the sky into eighty-eight constellations with defined boundaries.

DOTS - Huge dots and circumferences

DOTS, HUGE DOTS

Sonia Delaunay (November 14, 1885 – December 5, 1979) was a Jewish-French artist who, with her husband Robert Delaunay and others, cofounded the Orphism art movement, noted for its use of strong colours and geometric shapes. Her work extends to painting, textile design and stage set design.

Sonia Delaunay from nivaca2

Students will be able to interpret and create visual symbols to communicate ideas.

Based on Delaunay Art:

We will use:

Parallel, Perpendicular and Intersecting lines

How do we use the set square?

You have to handle your set square softly and with accuracy without exercising too much pressure on them, only the needed one to avoid movement.

PARALLEL LINES

1. The 45 set square hypotenuse (longest side) is placed attached to the line to which we want to draw the parallels (GUIDE).
2. The 60-30 set square hypotenuse is attached to the 45 set square leg.
3. Fix the 60-30 set square and move the 45 set square upwards or downwards drawing the desired parallel lines along its hypotenuse.

PERPENDICULAR LINES

If we want to draw perpendicular lines to one direction, we will have to follow the first two steps as stated for parallel lines and then the following ones:

1. Having fixed the 60-30 set square, the 45 set square is turned until the other leg is attached to the hypotenuse of the 60-30 set square.
2. Draw the perpendicular line along the hypotenuse of the 45 set square.

Let's review how to draw parallel and perpendicular lines using the triangular set squares.

The first task: Typography - your names

This is a task I like doing when we begin a new course. It let me get to know you, learn your names and, by the way, we work with a "popurrí" of items which will be a review of EPVA: elements of art and technical drawing (parallelism, perpendicularity, Thales), image, typography, visual elements (dots, lines, shapes, colours, textures), design process, sketching ...

You will see your artworks published in this blog very soon....
