Pattern snake

This is a picture of a snake with patterns on it. I've made it at school. The assesment was to draw a snake with at least nine patterns on it. I've drawn lots more, but there are also empty places. After this I've drawn a with indian ink on the pencil lines. I've got a 6,5 for it. Please turn your head 90 degrees, because when I turn it it keeps being vertically. It aren't super patterns, but it are lots and they aren't that bad I think.

Johannes Itten

Johannes Itten was a Swiss artist, designer and teacher. He lived from 1888 till 1967. He's famous for his theories about colours. He's the designer of the famous 'farbkreis'. He's studied at the Bauhaus academy. In 1925, after he's taken  his dismissal at Bauhaus he's started the 'Johannes Ittenschule' in Berlin.

The 'farbkreis' by Johannes Itten

The 'farbkreis' shows how all the colours are made. In this colour wheel they use the primary and secondary colours an artist use. That means that the primary colours are yellow, blue and red, and the primary colours green, orange and purple.

The primary colours are three colours, and as you mix this colours you can make every colour.

The secondary colours are also three colours, this are the colours those you can make directly with mixing the primary colours:

yellow+blue=green

yellow+red=orange

blue+red=purple

On this way you also can see which colours are complementary with each other. Complementary colours are colours those are precise opposite each other in the 'farbkreis' or in another colour wheel. The complementary colours in the primary and secondary colours are:

Johannes Itten

yellow-purple, because purple= blue+red, so no yellow

blue-orange, because orange=yellow+red, so no blue

red-green, because green=yellow+blue, so no red

This is a sheet on which I've painted, coloured, drawn, and more. The hole sheet has to do with colour mixing. The sun shows hot and cold colours, the painted part shows lots of colours, but we've made them with red, yellow, blue and white. It isn't painted really well, but the most colours are good recognisable. The part with the flowers shows complementary colours. The one left at the top shows the three primary colours, what happens if you mix these into secondary colours, and what happens if you mix them all. It was an assignment for art education at school and I've worked on it at school several lessons. My opinion? I like the sun, but the rest is not good
I think. My mark for it is a six/

It's almost the most used and famous colour wheel.

Colour Collage

For school I was supposed to make collage about colours. The assignment need to be made of seperate pictures, those you have to cut out of folders etc. It was forbidden to get pictures from the internet. This is it:

Graffiti drawing

In art education at school, we've made a piece of graffiti art with wasco. This is my graffiti drawing (this isn't a high quality photo, in reality it is a lot better :-)) :

I've got a seven for it.

Patterns in my environment

Patterns are over all. There are three kinds of patterns:

• Natural patterns
• Man-made patterns
• Applied patterns

Natural patterns are patterns made by nature.
Man-made patterns are patterns made by humans.
Applied patterns are printed patterns or relief patterns.

This are some natural patterns in my environment:

This is the ground in the forest behind our house

This is a plant in our garden



This is the fur of our cat



This are some man-made patterns in my environment: 

The outside wall of our kitchen

This is a ladder in our garden

This is a little thinkgame

 

 This are some applied patterns in my environment:


This is our door mat



This is a basket in our living room

This a little mat for on a table






Art in my environment

This is a photo of a piece of art I've chosen.















It doesn't have a title, but I think is a special photo. It's made in Thailand on 15 March 1999. It isn't behind thick glass, but just on the wall in the living room of my house. The photo is taken by my father. It's printed on special photo paper and the size is 50.5x40.3.

I've chosen this specific photo because it's made by my father. He's no artist , but he was lucky and so he could take this nice photograph. That's not my only reason, also because the whirling wind looks amazing and the sharp and vague things make it special. The most people don't see directly those are flowers in a vase. It's vague, but when you view it really good then you see it's a special photograph, a special piece of art.
