essay writing.

Introduction.
We were supposed to write an essay about the project “who am I?”
First we had to read thing on Elo about van Gogh and Judith Leister.
We had to answer some questions, which were about this subject.

Main assigment.
Artist in the renaissance, where always busy with the question: “Who am I?”
This was not always the case for painting, but also for poems or collages.
This main question answered in painting by showing feeling; like sad or happy.
The first par we had to do in class was the part about van Gogh.
He made 36 painting and much more sketches.
I recognise him for the story that the cut off his ear.
He was an Dutch artist born in Zundert and when he was at an age of 16 he began to paint.
Mostly he painted poor people with a dirt-poor background.
Already here he starts to give, feelings about certain thing.
When he went to Paris, to his brother Theo he start to get more involved with another kind of art called: Impressionist style.
In his life he had some serious ups and downs, he was at the brink of suiciding himself by cutting of his ear. The only thing what could save him was to start painting again and by using complementary colours.
And I made two painting: a happy one and a sad one.
In the happy ones I used some bright colours to express that it was my happy mood.
And, as you can guess, in the sad one I used dark colours.
I also painted the expression on my face in a different way to show if I was happy or sad.

After this assignment we had to make a collage and by looking at it, you should be able to guess who it was.
So I thought everybody will recognise me if I put a lot of football players on it.
Unfortunately, some others had this too and so I put also other sports in it and some typical thing were I’m well-known for, such as fruit and machinery used in agriculture.
The structure of my collage was really busy, so that is another feature to recognise it was mine.

The next assigment was the poem with the Judith Leister aspect.
So at first we had to make a poem which tells something about you and describes you.
The next step was to put it on a paper and make it in the way Judith Leister would have done.
So I didn’t make it too busy, but just simple some flowers and a typical Amsterdam’s house.

The last assignment we made was the photo shopping with Gimp or Picnic.
I used Gimp, because it is a lot easier.
I picked a photo with had already much features of who I am, so that made it easy for me and I only had to photo shop some things, that would characterize me even more.




Conclusion.
Because of this assignment I learned more of how I can express my feeling or mood in typical ways that I else would not have known.
With this project, I think I improved a lot of my painting skills.
Overall I think this was a nice assignment and I hope that in the future we will do this more times.

window painting at the A2.7

At the picture above, we were supposed to do window painting at the A2.7.
most students could just paint straight away, but we had to paint on transparant plastic.
The raison behind this was because else we had to paint too high and we weren't able to paint it then so needly.
Later it should have been glued against the wall and it would just look like you painted staight on the window.
It was hard to paint on that transparant plastic, because the paint didn't stayed attached.

Overall is was a nice assigment and I enjoyed it.
this was mainly because you could chose what mathematical thing you would like to paint.
I'm not able to give it a mark, this because it is not on th window (jet).

Fotoshopping

We had to fotoshop a foto of yourself.
This we had to do by using GYMP or Picnic.
In the first lessons we learned to use both programs.

My foto's were fotoshoped by GYMP.
It was a much easier program compared to Picnic.
I think my foto's were a bit easy to made if you know the program.
I didn't used special things, but just the basic ones.

My opinion about this assigment is that it is really nice to do.
It is something different than normal.
I hope that in the future we do this a lot more!!!





Collage

We were supposed to make a collage that tells who you are.
So when you see it you should say: "oh that is .....".
We could use everykind of magasin you liked.

My collage really tells something about me,
I used a lot of famous football players, because I play soccer almost every day.
I also used some aircrafts with as raison when I was younger i wanted to be a pilot.
Also some animales are in the collage, this because I have them my self.

My opinion about this assigment is that I succeed well, because they all crosses each other which was the hardness.
If I would had to mark my work it will be around an 7.

T2a went to canterbury

On the friday the fifth of march our class went to canterbury.

We had to visite parts of the city but the most interesting thing was the huge gothic cathedral which was made in de middelages.

The cathedral was huge, amazing and very big.

we had a good guide who could tell the most amazing things about the cathedral.

besides the cathedral there were also a lot of nice things for instence the market were I bought a scarf from Liverpool.

And on that market I lost almost my wallet we searched there for a 20 minutes.

and luckely for me, my wallet was in my sleeve.

Before we got back home, we first visited a museum which was about the history of Canterbury.

and after that we got back home.

I didn't expect that the trip was so funny, because I thought the visite of the cathedral will be boring.
But when I saw the huge cathedral my mind chanced.

the nicest thing was the cathedral with very nice stained glass window.
And the thing which was less nice was the moment when I lost my wallet

Self portrait in van Gogh style


Dear Niek,
I’m writing to you, because I need your opinion about two paintings.
The two paintings can be defined as a “happy mood” and a ‘sad mood”
We had 3 lessons for painting it and 1 lesson for sketching.
Both painting were supposed to be in “Van Gogh style”.
I only had 2 lessons for painting because I was ill for one lesson.

For paining the “happy mood”, I used colours which I think are warm and relaxing.
Those were mainly bright colours like light green, light blue and yellow.
You can clearly see that I used “the van Gogh style”.
However, I hadn’t enough time to paint the face and hear in van “Gogh style”.
In addition, I left two much white spaces in the background.
I painted the background with a paintbrush which even didn’t contain more than 3 droplets.
Unluckily, my mouth is a bit erased because another painting laid on it for more than 1 week.
The skin colour was failed ( It was to brown) and that is why my mark couldn’t be higher as a 6, according to my art teacher Mrs. Cleine.

For my “sad mood” painting, I used much darker colours like green and brown, when speaking about the background.
But as you can see on my painting, Another painting was above it and that is why I Got some red and pink colours in my background.
I my “sad mood” painting I look a bit thicker, but I want to show that I wore more thicker clothes.
Afterwards when I looked at both paintings, I made a mistake; I switched the eyebrows.
In my “happy mood” painting I used black eye brows and in my “sad mood” painting I used beige.

My opinion about both painting is that you can see well which painting shows which mood.
And I think, when the mouth would have succeed, I would have got a higher mark.
But in general, I can agree with a 6.

Looking forward to hearing to you.
Yours Sven.
