Art 1.2 Art + Portfolio Art

In Art, my kaupapa is about water pollution and emission. As for my panel board 1, I mainly used acrylic paint. And so far, I have managed to finish the first board and now I am focusing on my second board. On the other hand, for 1.2 Art internals,  I was able to produce 3 dry media on A3 paper, proof sheet and I am using the artworks from my portfolio for the wet media.

Why? 

I have decided to draw, paint and take a picture of the following objects as my kaupapa is about water pollution and emission. Even though water pollution emission is a common subject matter for art, I have decided on this kaupapa as I thought that it's better if my kaupapa is something I have a deep knowledge of. Other than that, I also wanted to know more about this topic as water pollution and emission is still a problem to other countries outside New Zealand. And think about the effect of stray rubbish and emission has on the sea creatures.

All these drawings and pictures are referred from all the objects I could see during the time I was doing this. 

.The first drawing is a sketch of the bottom or base of a plastic bottle. I have used 5 different types of sketching. 

The techniques that I used are: 

- Finger blending
- Cross-hatching
- Scribble
- Hatching

- 3s

The second drawing is an empty cup(left) and a crashed can. In this drawing, the light is coming from the back which makes the shadow casting in front. The very dark shaded is the shadow of the can and the less dark is the surface the object was in.

This is the last dry medium that I sketch. Just like the tin can(right) above, this plastic bottle is also crashed. In this case, the light is coming from the bottom right or I should say from the front-right side of the object, which makes the shadow cast on its left-rear side. Personally, out of all the 3 dry media, this is my least favourite, as the shadow looked awkward and the dark shaded part in the plastic bottle looked off. 

As for this proof sheet, I have decided to take a picture of the unclean plastic water cup when I was painting. This picture is about the different perspectives/sides of the cup. I have used studio light, natural light and a monochrome effect of the camera. 

Wet media and brief explanation and meaning behind the artwork:

This is the first artwork on panel board 1. 

The first artwork on the folio board is digital artwork. The picture is about a fisherman throwing a fishnet in the sea during sunset. As for the fishnet, I deliberately made it look like a skull to indicate the meaning of danger to the species. The chemical factory is also reflected in the water. 

                       Panel 1                                                            Panel 2

So far this is all the artwork I have done. The first panel, it's mostly acrylic painting while the second panel, it mostly consists of digital painting.
