Week 5 Art Thursday Do now task

 Impasto: 

• Frank Auerbach is a well known artist. His artwork is mainly Impasto based and tends to catch the eyes of many people. Within this art work we see a bunch of different dark and dull colours no bright colours to really be seen. Within this art you can see a person how kinda looks like a chef as it looks like they are wearing a apron. With Impasto art it allows the paint to be very thick and the art it self be less detailed but still clear to see whats involved within the art. I would say impasto art is very abstract and the artwork can be cooperated in many different ways.  
  

Layering In Watercolours: 

William Blake is a famous artist that tends to use watercolours and does it pretty well. As you can see in this painting above he has made a very dramatic piece of artwork. In saying that due to him using watercolour it makes him to be able to layer the paint and make it look very shaded which in a sense allows the artwork to look very realistic and dramatic. 

Sgraffito: 

Sgraffito is a type of art technique which is used in a lot of different styles of art. In saying that Sgraffito is when you paint a normally bright colour or any colour you want the image to be then over top of it you paint black or a darker colour. Then you scratch the lines you want which will hopefully make a image for example a tree you would scratch the out line of a tree and the under colour being the bright one will and should be showing.   

Stitching into artwork: 

This artwork is normally done of fabric but can be done on paper if done in a careful manner. In saying that this type of artwork is very unique to say the less and gives the person looking at it a 3D effect as it looks 3D. In my opinion out of the art technique I have looked at this is by far my favourite. 

Monoprinting: 

Monoprinting is pretty much lino printing in a way. You use ink or paint on blocks that are carved in shapes for example a circle etc then press it on paper. You tend to want to carve out the outline of the image you are creating then leave the rest smooth. For example on this image above you see they have mad waves and stars they would of have to cut out the outline of then and apply paint over the top of the block or thing their using.
