Visual Art - Term 3 Week 2

Kaupapa: Transgender equality and discrimination

What worked?

I enjoyed doing watercolour works and experimenting with a silhouette-like style.

What didn't work?

I'm struggling a little with drawing realistically. 

What is my next step?

Going onto the 1.2 slide and seeing what the next medium to use is.

Term 2 - Portfolio Update

My portfolio so far only has 2 works on it; both done with charcoal to work on toning. Charcoal isn't a very good medium for me personally, as I drag my hand across the page while I draw, which smudges the charcoal. It's also quite difficult to erase if you make a mistake.

L1 Art

This year I am doing NCEA Level 1 Art. My kaupapa, or topic, for this year will be LGBTQ+ equality.

I'm choosing this topic because I am very openly LGBTQ+ and feel that the treatment people like me get in school and in our general community because of our sexuality and gender identity is unfair.

I will be working with painting and design media.

From line one, I choose Sofia Minson and Tony Fomison. From line two, I choose Claude Monet and Jacob Yikes.

I'll be studying John Heartfield out of the artists from my kaupapa.

This is the brainstorm of things I could do with my kaupapa:

(Sorry for the hard to read handwriting, there's writing on the back of the page)










My subject matter is going to be nature. I feel like I can do a lot with natural scenes in regard to the topic I picked.
