My Artwork

I did not paint a pipe when we were
doing art, I painted a picture of a
pipe! hahaha. I'm just kidding.


The writing says "this is not a pipe"

I enjoyed painting it and it took me a while to blend the colours together. I think it's a good painting even if the pipe is a little bit of centre

Stuff at School

For our tasks this week we've got to write a reflection on anything we've been learning or working on recently at school but I'm not sure I can think of anything. I know some people will be like "Come on you do tons of things at school I'm sure you can think of one," but I think that's just it. I can't think of one, because I've got lots of things to choose from but the following is the things that I found really enjoyable this week.

For most of this term we have been learning about light and colour for science. I've learnt a lot of useful things that I can apply to things I do and things that are really interesting like what light does when it hits and goes through different things, concave and convex lenses and things about the eye.

I'm not exactly sure if we can type about what we learn in electives but I'm going to because I learnt some awesome things about keyboards (thanks Anastasia,) things about teamwork when your in a band and how to multitask playing an instrument and singing. I think we have an awesome electives teacher (Ross) because whenever we learn new songs he's very patient and let's us learn it partly by ourselves.

My Progress in Painting

At school, for the subject art, we have been practising painting. Recently I have painted Rene Magritte's "This is not a Pipe" and a painting based on Rene Magritte's "This is not a Pipe" called "This is not a Pear."
After these two experiences I am better at mixing and blending colours and controlling the thickness of the line but I still need to work on painting a clean line. I could also work on blending a bit more because sometimes the colour isn't very clean but it might just be because of the previous colours on the paintbrush. So I think I have gotten better at painting in some ways and I know my paintings aren't perfect but I still enjoy painting them.

My Pipe Painting

Today I painted a pipe that was originally painted by Rene Magritte. It was a pretty good pipe not beautiful but pretty good. The thing I really liked about my painting was the writing at the bottom in French "this is not a pipe" because I fit it in easily and it's neat except for the really big fat "I."
To make my painting more like the original one I would definitely move my pipe more into the middle of the page and I think I could work on my blending as well, it took me a while to get the right shade of light brown.
