Task

There were stations across the art room, on each table there was different art material. These consisted of colouring pencils, water colours, chalk, strings/newspaper/paper and glue, lead pencil. We are all given a blank A3 piece of paper. At each station Ms. Jewanjee would play one of the songs above and we had to draw using the material at the station. The whole point of this task was to draw freely without having a certain image in your head or copying something. I used shapes, lines, brushstrokes to create my piece of art. We had to draw and create something based off of the music she was playing. For example during the music that was sad, I used many dark colours in my art. Down below are pictures to show my progress during the lesson with evidence of my artwork and how it grew according to the material, tools and music played.
