Auckland Art Gallery

Edgar Dagas was an artist's work that i saw at the gallery. Which was by far the best painting i seen. He painted ballet dancers. not dancing on stage. But putting their makeup and leotards on. Which made him different in my eyes. Other artist's would've tried to paint them on stage. But Edgar Dagas painted them backstage. As i said earlier. he was an impressionist painter. So he showed emotion through some of his art. The ballet dancers had no face's but it was'nt about their facial expression. It was about the ballet dancers body movement. BY FAR THE BEST I'VE SEEN. Original piece of art. Thats been around over 100 years

C.V.A group crit

Done a line drawing on the wall and window sill. which was alright. got feedback on what needs to be improved. what was working well and all that.
My class said that i had an intelligent set up. they said i should had used different media and added more roots. which i'll try sometime in the future. my negative feedback was that it was'nt finished and the photo i took was'nt catching the light and the photo should had been straighter. I'll keep that in mind next time. My positive feedback was that i had fine detail and the contrast was GOOD. So yeah. That went alright.

John Wolseley

John Wolseley was born in Britain but then settled in Australia in 1976 and now one of the most respected artist in Australia. John Wolseley loves Australia's outback cause he can see the base of the earth. He tossed 20+ sheets into the wind and he let them blow around for days. Then he went back to gather them and start painting/drawing on it. He even buried his paper so that when he dug it up again it would had form some natural patterns. he collected particles and pigments from putting his paper up against a tree and rubbing himself against the paper. People don't think crawling around in dirt is beautful but John Wolseley is all about nature. he is'nt afraid to get his hands dirty.
