4º Arts LIGHT AND VOLUME Shadows- light

-
Hello everybody!
I hope you are all right!

 Since I imagine everybody has a pencil at home, and probably an egg too, we are going to observe and analyze how the light works in nature, and how we can represent it with a humble pencil.

 Basically, we are going to do what it is explained in the video. We are going to observe how different kinds of lights iluminate an object ( an egg). 
Them, we are going to use a soft-lead pencil to draw all the shadows, and lights.

Hopefully, when  the drawing is done  you will have a 3D drawing! Actually, the light is the most important visual element in an image to define the volume of the objects.


So, here are the steps:

Take an egg and place it on a white sheet of paper. We are going to prepare two kind of lightings sets:
  • Diffused light. You are going to place your "egg on the paper", mini still- life, next to a window. Them, observe, and draw.
  • Hard-straight direct light. You need to use a lamp to iluminate the egg on the paper. Place the lamp really close so you can get this kind of lighting. Them, observe, and draw.



Is there any difference between the first option and the second? So... it has to be seen in your drawing!

Which would be each one?


You can do the two drawings in the same drawing paper. Don´t forget to work all the types of shadows, including the cast shadow on the paper.

 In this image you can learn the english vocabulary to use for each kind of shadow:




If you find this job a little tricky, here is a tip for you.
You might use your movil phone to take a photo of the still life ( el mini bodegón formado por papel y huevo. Still-life es bodegón in english) 
This can help you to observe the reality you are seeing. Compare the photo, and what you see. Try to notice all the different parts of the image and all the different shadows, in the photo, and in reality. 

 See the slight diferences.

 See the subtle changes in nature!!! 

 Train your perception and your observation skills

 This is about it.
GREETINGS!!!

1ºESO. COLOUR WHEEL

-

HELLO EVERYBODY!!! We are going to continue with the study of colour by doing a colour -wheel. I have told you about light and how it works. Do you remember? The white light or visible light (the sun light) is an electromagnetic wave. The only kind of wave that we can perceive with our sight . You can see here all the types of elctromagnetic waves there are in the universe, and how,  the visible light, is only that short range in the middle of the spectrum: So let´s say that colour is a quality of light , and that each colour has a wave lenght . The light reflects on the objects, and we are able to perceive the colour of each object, because it only reflects the wave length of the colour the object is. That means that a tomato, for example, only reflects the wave lenght of the colour red. Anyhow, we can study the colour as light, or as a material . Coloured lights, like the ones you are seeing out of your computer right now, or coloured paints, like coloure...

1ºESO Arts. VISUAL TEXTURE

Hi Everybody! This is the next project we are going to be working on: As you should remember we have already estudied the basic visual elements we can find in every image, and one of those was the TEXTURE. There are two kinds of texture . We can tell apart from the actual or tactil texture, from the visual texture. - The acctual texture  is perceived by the touch sense, but we can see it as well. - The visual texture is persived only by the sight. If we touch the surface of the object, we are not going to notice any diference. Is a texture that is represented. It is painted or drawn. All this textures examples are painted and drawn. So they are visual textures. If we touch the paper, we are going to feel the texture of the paper, but not of what is represented. In this following link you have a presentation abaut different kinds of textures:   https://www.slideshare.net/luciaag/texturas3 Visual textures: Frottage video:
