Term 4- Patricia Piccinini: "We are Family"

In term 4 we have been looking at expression of different animal’s faces and humans faces. We have looked at this picture and we had to answer a few question about his “We are Family” picture, designed by Patricia Piccinini. We had to answer what this picture is, why would the artist make a world like this and what issues is the artist raising in the this picture.
It took me alone time to figure out what this sculpture was and what it was for, but I had to look up the internet and see what Patricia had made and done. She has made this sculpture into a master piece which is combining natural effects and human effects as well. This picture is a bit disturbing in some places but that main word to describe this is awful. I don’t really like it that much as you can see!

Colour Shades

The shade colour that you add to make a colour lighter is the colour white. To make the colour darker you add black. In my mask I mainly will add white to my cooler colours scheme, because it will make the cooler colours. Light blue and purple are the most common little colours I will put on my mask.

The Colour Scheme

The colour scheme for my mask is an energetic colour at the bottom and it gradually gets cooler. The energetic colours that I used for my mask are yellow, orange and red. The colours at the top of my mask are light blue and purple. My mask contains primary and secondary.

Mask Task. Steps.

In term 2, 3 and 4 we have been collecting pictures of our three favorite animals. Mine as you may know is the Bear, Eagle and the Dog. This term (3) we have been putting our mask together and adding our three favorite to make a very different animal.

The first step: We had a plastic bag and we stuffed it in with news paper and then when we were done we would stick the top together
Second Step: Then we have to form our mask into the shape that we want to make our head
Third Step: This step took mainly the whole of term 2 and term 3. This was paper machining. We paper machining with news paper and we glued it on with glue.
Fourth Step: This step is where we have to cover our mask with white pieces of paper called butchers paper.
Fifth Step: This step is the best part of doing my mask. Will the second best part. We had to put in the texture on what our three animals feel and what the texture is. We used texture past to do this job.
Sixth Step: This step may be the last step but I’m not quite sure if it is. It is the painting part. As you see in my next post you can see the ‘colour wheel.’ This colour wheel is the wheel where some colors blend together and where they are next to each other. This is called analogies.

ANIMOLOGY: What kind of Animal are you?

This task was long time along time ago back in February. I know that I’m far behind but I forgot to put this up. The work that I'm talking about is what kind of animal am I? We had to answer up some questions about what kind of animal you are and the animal that I was is the Ocre and the Gray Dolphin. This task was a very interesting task and its very fun to do. I don’t think that this is very true because it says that the teal cat was not a good friend but in real life she’s really a great friend, so I don’t believe in this. Although it’s very fun.

Second Assignment

The next assignment that we are doing is the one about how we have to put all our animals together and form a complete different animal out of our three animals then we had to out how we describe our three animals put together in three different words. We also have to put two different things about out three animals into the different animals. So there will be eight different things about our animals in this animal

Making our Mask

In term 2, we are starting on making our mask. We had to start on choosing three of our favourite animals and the ones that I did was the bear, eagle and the dog. Then when we had finished choosing our animals we had to make our mask. We started out with a plastic bag then we stuffed some pieces of paper into the plastic bag and we covered it with papier mache. It was very sticky on how we papier-marched it. I think this well take quite a long time doing this because some of the parts of my body on my design are still soft and it has to be hard before we put the white covering on it. This assignment is very easy but it will take a while to finish doing this.
