Examples of Asymmetrical and Symmetrical

These are just some pictures that I had found on the internet on some Asymmetrical and Symmetrical imagies and art work.

This are some examples of asymmetrical images of photos:

And this are some examples of symmetrical balance images:

Mask planning!! ^^

Well if you already know that the fact that my scanner isn't working so therefore i can't really show all my planning so as soon as it is working I will make sure that I will scan those imagies from my art book. And I am really sorry if you really wanted to see them...



Thanks Angie

Focal Point

What is a Focal Point?

Focal point is when something in an art piece that stands out or draws attentions to your eyes when you first look at it. For example if there was a group of people wearing dull outfit and there is this person walking in something bright like a yellow outfit in a painting. Then that person in yellow would be the focal point in the painting.

Well in that lesson, Mrs Vincent wanted the whole class to concetrate on focal points in advertisment, in a magazine. Mrs Vincent first showed us how to find a focal point in a picture as well as showing some balanced picture as well. When the class had a small disscusion on focals points and balanced imagies we were told to find some in advertisments in magazines. So everyone in the class went and got themselve a magazine and went flipping through them.

These were the imagies that I had found when I was flipping through some magazines:



( Sorry there is a problem with my scanner so therefore you can't see the imagies..... sorry about that)


The class was told to tear those pages out with the pictures that we though had focal points and some balanced ones as well, and to gule those pictures into our art books.
Therefore in that lesson I learnt how to find a focal point in imagies as well as how different shapes and colours that balance a art piece.

Balancing activity

This actitvity was done during one of the lesson during class this term. It was said to help our class when we are at the stage of painting our masks.

Balance is one of the principals of art, and there are two different type of balance; asymmetrical and symmetrical balance.

The difference between asymmetrical and symmetrical balance is;

• when an art piece is asymmetrically balanced it is typically off-center or is created with an odd or mismatched number of disparate elements. However, you could still have an interesting design even without a perfect symmetry.
• While a symmetrically balanced art piece is when it is seen perfectly centered or has perfect mirror images. It would be a design which has only two elements that would be almost identical or have the same visual mass.

After understanding the principal balance, Mrs Vincent had made the whole class do some acticitives with the principal balance. But First Mrs Vincent had explain what is a proper asymmetrical balanced piece of work and a symmetrical piece of work. When the whole class had fully understood what we were ment to do in that lesson we were on our way. Everyone was told to get 2-3 pieces of different coloured paper and was also told to make a symmetrical and an asymmetrical balanced piece of work. We got the chance to cut out shapes from the different coloured pieces of paper and then glue those shapes into our Art visual dairy, but making sure that it was asymmetrically balanced or symmetrically balanced.

From my point of view I had found that making a symmetrically balanced piece of work was much easier than an asymmetrically balanced piece. At first I had no ideal what I was ment to be doing and was doing everything wrong, ..... but when I had asked for help from Mrs Vincent I had finallly understood what the difference was! ^^ I had helped some of my friends as they too found it hard to understand the difference betweent the two types of balance. After I had created my symmetrically balanced and asymmetrically balanced piece of work and had made sure it was balanced. I finally guled the pieces into my book and had a small discussion on balance. Therefore today in art I had learnt something about one of the principal of art and had learnt the difference between both asymmetrical and symmetrical balance. Overall I found it a fun lesson and I enjoyed that lesson.

Soft Toy Animal

During one of the classes during term 1, Mrs Vincent had told us to grab a soft toy animal from around the art room. She also told us to grab a 2b pencil and take out our visual dairies. Since there wasn't enough to go around the room my friend and I decieded to share a toy.

My friend had chosen a yellow and small fox which was cute a cuddly from her point of view, but a little different from mine. After everyone had a soft toy animal infront of them, Mrs Vincent then started to tell us what she had planned for us to do during that lesson.
Mrs Vincent had told us to do some obesvational tasks, which invloved the 2 mins continous line drawing of the toy, the 2 mins blind contour drawing, the blind contour 2 mins but this time was continous and the 10 mins drawing of the animal.





These are just some of the sketches I had done on the fox:















































I found it really boring to be drawing the same fox over and over again so I got tired of the fox and wanted a different animal. Mrs Vincent was near by and had given a different soft toy animal which was this lovely white polar bear, I thought that it was a really cute but at the same time cuddly so I had happily excepted the bear and started to draw it.
After some time of drawing the toy making sure that I was able to show the texture of the bear and to show the outline of the bear as well.

And the bear turned out like this:




























Mrs Vincent had set us some homework which was to draw a soft toy animal at home showing the texture of the soft toy. When I did this homework I decided to draw a soft toy dog that I had found at home so I drew it and this is how it turned out!

I had really enjoyed drawing this toy and loved how it had turned out in the end. But I was a bit sad that I wasn't able to finish as Mrs Vincent said that it was pack up and that ment it was the end of the class. It was a pity that I couldn't finish it but overall it was a really intersting lesson and had learnt a lot of things from it.

Title Page

For Art every year, we always get the chance to start on our title pages for a visual dairies. This year for Art, Mrs Vincent, my art teacher told as to use our names as our title page. It was drawn like a name card for us but also showing the elements of art on each letters of our name. We had to include the elements - line, colour, texture, form/volume, tone and shape on the letters.

What I had done for each of my letters which were, A,n,g,e,l and a (this is how u spell my name).

A - I had use the elements of Line, colour and shape.

N - Had the element tone.

G - Had the element texture.

E - I use the elements colour and tone.

L - Had the elements volume, colour and shape.

A - Had the elements colour and shape.

I really enjoyed doing my title page of 2008 for ART and I am really looking forward to what we are going to be doing for art this year!!

HEHEHE!!

This is the coolest thing that I have ever done!!! YAY!!
COOL..... Cool....
