Wallpaper and Animation.

Today, we had to go to the library to find 4 different portrait images and note the artist's name who created them. I found various images from artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Alex Katz and Jean-Antoinne Watteau.
We took photos of the images and went back to our room and used the end of a paintbrush and ink, and painted out our interpretations of the artist's portraits.

We recorded our progress as we went along with each portrait with a camera. Everyone had a 'bubble' or area to paint, and once it was painted, we moved to a different area.

After lunch, we edited the images we took together using Premier Pro and created them into an animation and saved it to our memory sticks.

We then did a write up on notes about the artists we used today.
I printed off pictures and stuck them in our sketchbooks to help with the annotations.
Here is some of the information i got whilst researching. It is best seen in my sketchbook.

Alex Katz.
Alex is an American figurative artist associated with pop art. Katz's paintings are divided equally into the genres of portraiture and landscape. Since the 1960s, he has painted views of New York, the landscapes of Maine, where he spends several months every year, as well as portraits of family members, artists, writers and New York society protagonists.
