I added an outline of my head and added texture with acrylic paint as that is my favourite form of painting i love the texture and depth it adds to art. I covered my eyes with a blue stripe as my eyes are blue and then added my name to that stripe. I added two flower gems as i love flowers and all things nature, this is also reflected in the flower cutout at the top of the picture. I added scrabble pieces “s” and “b” which are the initials of my boyfriend and my dog, the scrabble pieces themselves represent my love for board games. The heart shaped cutouts are from paintings or pictures i already had. The purple heart is a picture of the galaxy as i love star gazing at night. The small beige heart is a picture of my dogs fur, and the blue heart is a picture of the beach because the beach is my favourite place to be. The pink cutout is a picture of rose quartz which represents my love for collecting crystals, and lastly the cow is a picture i took while on a walk and represents my favourite animal which is a cow. The materials i used were paper, paint, gems, pictures, and paintings.]]> 2022-11-05 16:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371149126 caoimhemcgratha https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371152398 This is a portrait I did in class of the person sat in front of me. We worked as a group to create a piece of art that reflects kindness. I did this by first painting the person opposite me and adding things like glitter, confetti, yarn, tape, and gems to the painting. I then wrote words that represent kindness to me. ]]> 2022-11-05 16:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371152398 caoimhemcgratha https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371155045 I chose this shoe to draw my story on as it was the most similar to the shoes i wear on a daily basis. I started off by drawing my tattoos on the shoe with a pencil. My tattoos hold a lot of meaning to me so i decided to fill the shoe with them and felt that they represented me as a person well. I added pink laces as thats my favourite colour and under the pink i really lightly wrote the names of all my favourite people. I added the date of my anniversary with my boyfriend and the date we got our dog to the sole of the shoe. Lastly i added my birthday and my home town. ]]> 2022-11-05 16:09:06 UTC https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371155045 caoimhemcgratha https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371157212 I arrived in class and on my table was this sheet with a flowery mandala on it. I noticed everyone else was colouring their pages so I joined in. I was highly engaged with this picture and even when the facilitator was talking I continued to colour while listening. I enjoyed being intricate and careful with my design and chose colours i love and made it as symmetrical as possible.]]> 2022-11-05 16:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371157212 caoimhemcgratha https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371160776 I was given a blank piece of paper, a string, and food colouring. I started with blue and aimlessly dragged the string across the page. Doing this felt quite freeing as usually when I engage in art I try to be as perfect and thing about every brush stroke or line I add to the page wheres here I had no plan and could simply enjoy the process of making marks with colour and no intended outcome of how my page should look at the end.]]> 2022-11-05 16:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371160776 caoimhemcgratha https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371162540 In this class we had to pair up and draw the person opposite you without looking at the page, this was very hard to do because I couldn’t tell where I was drawing and how it was turning out. This is the picture my partner drew of me, the colour was added by me after the fact when we got to make it our own by adding to it. ]]> 2022-11-05 16:20:57 UTC https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371162540 caoimhemcgratha https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371165197 I broke the page into four sections and drew things I love or enjoy in each section without explaining it to anyone or adding words. I them swapped my picture with someone else and had to try interpret their pictures to find out more about them. This was very hard even though the pictures seemed obvious to the person drawing them other people struggled to interpret them. For example I drew a plane over my boyfriend as he enjoys aeroplanes and is intending to work with them in the future, other people interpreted this as i enjoy travelling with my boyfriend. ]]> 2022-11-05 16:24:51 UTC https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371165197 caoimhemcgratha https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371166331 Four songs were played and for each song I draw what I felt while listening to the song. This was a great activity as I really had fun with it especially on song number four where i was dancing while drawing the lines.]]> 2022-11-05 16:26:47 UTC https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371166331 caoimhemcgratha https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371167921 We started off in pairs where we had to take turns interacting with each others mark that was made. It started off being just lines and as we progressed we started creating doodles with each other and even played x’s and o’s without using words at all. ]]> 2022-11-05 16:28:54 UTC https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371167921 caoimhemcgratha https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371169442 This page started off as a black square in which I had to interact with. I decided to not take the typical route of adding more straight lines and flowing with the box instead of decided to do more circles and squiggly lines and used loads of colour. I attempted to hide the box as much as possible.]]> 2022-11-05 16:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371169442 caoimhemcgratha https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371171152 I was told to let loose on this page and go wild with marks. There was no outline of what to do or how to do it and this is how it turned out. This was really freeing to do as usually with art it is expected to turn out pretty or look a certain way whereas with this it was more about the process and enjoying it.]]> 2022-11-05 16:34:06 UTC https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371171152 caoimhemcgratha https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371172581 I was told to make a mark on a page and decided to doodle some things I like. This was the initial reaction I had when I was told to make a mark. I tried to make it looks nice and drew things I thought looked nice. ]]> 2022-11-05 16:36:09 UTC https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371172581 caoimhemcgratha https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371173253 2022-11-05 16:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371173253 caoimhemcgratha https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371173709 2022-11-05 16:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371173709 caoimhemcgratha https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371173894 2022-11-05 16:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2371173894 caoimhemcgratha https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2374841537 In this class we worked in groups and used our phones, objects and our bodies. We used the light on our phones to create shadows with our bodies and another person traced the shadow creating a piece of art using light and different angles. It was interesting to find loads of different things to trace and then doing it without moving. A lot of the time when the object or person was drawing the shadow would move making the drawing look different than the shadow.]]> 2022-11-08 11:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2374841537 caoimhemcgratha https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2374841983 2022-11-08 11:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/caoimhemcgratha/4ud28f0v8v3gp08y/wish/2374841983
