This week in Art, I have finally set in stone the entirety of the theme/kaupapa or sorts. with the obviously planning from the beforehand blog post, I'm going to most of the ideas and expand on them. the theme I'm going with is about after death before and after, and the process of decals with gashes of red blurring out pieces of the work.
Chosen Myth: Hades and Persophone
In Classics, I have been slowly developing a visual presentation with a friend of mine. We have decided to make a mini-comic of their story and have split a script in half. (which was developed by Tia).
What are my ideas you may be wondering?
Well, to word it in a few sentences it's about the time after death at the brim of life and death and the afterlife. basically the aspects and mixture of decomposition suffrage in stages. these would be accompanied by fungi or growth that appear alongside decomposition. (with some greeks styled humans)
Some colours I would use or rather shades and styles I would use...
A Monotone theme, for the backgrounds, and the dead lifeless subject matter. (that is dead or never was alive)
For the subject matter that is alive, I would use many greens to empathize with death and this would also relate to some polar opposites such as "after death there is life." etc.
Here is one of the pieces for the previous week that can tie into angelic being I might consider adding some biblically accurate angel references into the mix.
The subject matter in this singular piece is a wing that links back to my ideas and concepts before. The type of painting style I guess is kind of a mixture of light flicking and stroke of a small brush with some diluting of the white paint to give it more dimension.
In Classics, I have been building up my knowledge of the primordial deities, the titians and the Olympians gods. Here are some small facts files covering them, (one from each time period) in the slide below. With all the sources I used linked to prove this information.
What are primordial deities, titans and the Olympians? - A brief explanation
The Primordial Deities are some of the first main gods that came into existence in ancient greek history just after Chaos. Titians are what is considered the middle or second generation of gods. Lastly, the Olympians, the well-known ones are the third generation of gods
In art, we have working towards producing art for our portfolio, so far I have managed to produce both wet and dry media. but, mainly for the first board, I have steadily focused on painting. I have planned out for the next board the use of digital, charcoal-based and pencil pieces.
Here is a photo of the end results of the first board.
Why you may ask? The reason I have chosen this theme and kaupapa is I wanted to try something different for one a go out of my confront zone trying to discover something different and experiment with painting and drawing things(like fish) that I would normally not. My favourite piece from board one that I've put a lot of effort into is the one with the koi fish swimming through the city right below the ribbon eels. I feel like a put a lot of depth and shadow into this one, unlike the others I've produced.
In art we are been stedailiy progressing our art portfolios recently I have managed to complete the first board of my portfolio and currently. I've been building up the design for the second panel, I have managed to finish the planning and have begun working on the next pieces and series. below is the current layout of the second board it may be a bit of a rough sketch but it is still useable. (since it's a plan.)
