Arjun Kohli - Flowers

For my new post, I wanted to show you guys a photo that I took two years ago for a photography project in school that I thought had a strong message that the viewers would be able to decrypt just from the picture. I also thought that this message is different for everyone depending on how their look at things optimistically or pessimistically. One were to look at this optimistically is that they are not the only flower left and that they do with what we have. However, there are people who still look at this pessimistically by think of this as dark and gloomy and thinking that there are no other floors. Just like how some people see the glass half empty instead of the glass half full. This is how this image speaks to me. I would like to know how this image speaks to you. Please reply back with how it does. Thanks Lads!

Kim's Artwork

Hello, I’m Kim! I made this piece in my free time and it took me several hours (mainly because I kept redoing the colours). I like to try out colours on the side before adding them in so that I always have a reference point in case I need to touch up colours later. This was just an experiment so I’d really love to hear some feedback!

Rafael's Food Photography

One of our most recent projects in art was food photography. This food that we were supposed to take a photo of had to define you as a person. As you can see I chose dumplings. I feel this defines me as dumplings can be cooked in many different ways: fried, steamed, grilled, etc.  There are also a variety of options to be placed inside the dumpling such as vegetables, chicken or pork.
It is a quite versatile dish and I think of myself as an adaptable type of person. It is an also Asian dish and I am also from the Philippines.

Carla's Art Project

In case you have not heard; our next project in class is food that defines you. I choose to draw ice cream for several reasons. The first reason being that gelato, ice cream, is Italian, which I coincidentally am. Also, ice cream comes in a lot of different flavours, you can get chocolate or vanilla. Some people might prefer lemon sorbet or strawberry. If you are more adventurous you might choose something crazy, something you cant get anywhere else. I feel like this defines me because sometimes I’ll be in a great mood, and other times, not so much. 
I don’t have a picture of my work yet but as soon as I do I’ll post it. Hope you like the idea. If you where to do this project, what food would you choose to draw?

Alex's Food Photography (and Doodles)

For my second entry, I decided I would post a photo of one of the photos I took from the food photography unit. Although this won't be the photo I'll be painting (because I'll be using a picture of sushi), I thought this photo was also rather nice. So this photo is of pho (noodles from Vietnam), which I really like.
I also decided to post a picture of some quick doodles, because I really love to doodle, and I'd say it's my favourite type of Art.



Alard

On my second blog entry I would like to show you guys what I made in DT however this would not be realated to Art. So I took photos of it and used some of the techniques such as depth of field. I hope you guys enjoy it and feel free to comment on it at the bottom.

[Shiv] Art Food Project!

Hi, I'm Shiv and currently in our Art class we are doing a project called 'Food Photography'. I chose this brownie and the other items on the plate because I like the way it's arranged; I generally don't like to be disorganized with my things, and on this plate the food looks rather organized.
It also has lots of different types of food, and I like a lot of things (as hobbies etc) so I think this fits well with me!
Well, the colors also seem quite 'radiant' and I wouldn't say I'm much of a radiant person but it does add to the texture of the image!
Also everything is neatly set out and I don't like things to be messy, like I stated before, so this picture describes me well!
We are going to paint this in class but first we need to enlarge the image!
This will be a challenge but fun!
Do you like to paint pictures of food?
