This is what we worked on today. We are learning the the eight easy steps of how to draw a skull and how it is easily done. This was my first go at drawing a skull with the eight steps. I think the eight steps are very important as I am really bad at drawing skulls but as soon as I followed the eight step plan it boasted my quality of my drawings.
The Eight Steps of Drawing A Skull -
1) The egg
2) The earhole
3) The axis
4) The sunglasses bone
5) The orbitals
6) The Nasal bone
7) The Jaw
8) The dental arch
WWW - I followed the steps properly and had all the eight steps. My outline and shape of skull was also decent.
EBI - If I had a bit more detail on the inside part of the skull. I should measure the skull next time and try enlarging it next time.

We traced out the skull of a someone in a picture on traceable paper. We used the eight steps we learned before to help us draw the skull of the person in the image. We also drew traced a picture of a skull on traceable paper and used the eight steps to help us well. We than chose one to draw and go over with charcoal.

WWW - I think I did well on tracing all the details of the picture of the women and I think I got it pretty accurate.
EBI - I think I have to work on the measurements of my drawing as I didn't really get the size right and that effects my drawing majorly.

I missed out on a lesson about fat muscle. It was basically about putting fat and muscle on the bone. Without the fat and muscle you can't really have a proper self portrait. It was basically combining skull, fat and muscle to make a good and very detailed self portrait.

In the Looks like painting of Mrs. Robert Harrison it's a bit hard to tell what is going on in the painting as it is only a paint of her. In most portraits you can tell a lot by just looking at it, even in the ones where it's just them because in other paintings there are more expression but in this she is just holding her hands and almost looking shy and uncomfortable. There is basically no background to this so it allows us to focus more on the expression and emotions she is showing. With the Is like painting of Kevin Maybury, you can tell a lot by the background and expression on his face. He looks very tired because Maybury was a carpenter and had to do a lot of work. I think what makes these two paintings stand out more than the others is that in the Portrait of Mrs. Robert Harrison, she is the main aspect of the painting but in the portrait of Kevin Maybury shows a lot more so there isn't much of a main aspect in the painting because both Maybury and his background say a lot about him.
Colour -
In the portrait of Mrs. Harrison, There isn't a colour that really stands out except for the red but the way it is shown it doesn't really catch my eyes. The rest of the painting is of normal and simple colours like white, pale, etc. like the colour of her dress and the colour of her skin. Minton's portrait though had a use of different colours which stand against one another. It is more eye catchy and a bit more lively.

Mood -
The mood for Mrs. Robert Harrison portrait has a more emotional touch then anything else. It feels as she is uncomfortable and nervous. She feels a bit shy which is shown in the portrait. In Minton's painting he shows the Maybury is tired and exhausted which can also mean he is boring. Even though the background is very colourful and lively his emotions and expression is still the same as he looks like he has come from a long day of work.
Surface/Texture -
The Mrs. Harrison portrait looks like it is very smooth and soft because usually women clothing is very unique as they soft and smooth. It feels as if it is very silky as well and it goes in a very relaxing flow. Minton's painting has a bit more of roughness as there is tools everywhere and it doesn't feel very smooth. It feels like it's in a small place with many tools which looks very messy making us feel like it is very hard and rough.

We are drawing a mans portrait throughout his life. He has three portrait of him before the war, during the war and after the war. I chose the portrait of him in the war. We cut the portrait in half we use one side to compare the colours and then the other one we draw the other side of the portrait. This is what I have done so far.
WWW - I think I had a good outline of the portrait and good details so far for the portrait. I had a good idea of what I was gonna do.
EBI - I didn't have the exact colour I wanted so it didn't look exactly as I wanted to. I should have a better mixture of colours.

Today we went around giving each other comments on our abstract portraits. My comments are pretty accurate as who I chose is a very messy person he has a lot of mood swings.
WWW - People knew what type of person I was doing so that means I used the messiness decently.
EBI - I could have used more shapes and tones so it looked better instead of just looking like bunch of scribbled lines with different colours.

This year we have done a lot of things so far. We have improved our thinking skills by breaking things down. We analyze the drawing then we break it down in steps so it makes our drawing better and easier. My social skills have improved as our website is basically a social website as people can go through it and we can go through other peoples. My communication skills have improved as we worked with different people in different groups. We used it by talking and sharing our ideas. My self management skills have improved as I worked by myself and I have done well so far. My research skill has improved as I gt an eight for my investigation task.
We are pointing out the types of techniques this artist used and how it made the art piece a lot better than it would have been.
