Pattern snake

At school we’ve made a pattern snake. First made a dot at 2,5 cm from the side at the right and left of the paper and above and from the bottom. Then you must make a line from the dot at the left top to the dot at the right top. You do the same by the two dots below. If you’ve done this you could make a lot of patterns on the snake with a pencil. Later – if you have drawn all the patterns – you can use Indian ink to trace your drawing. I found it very difficult to work with Indian ink. If whole the class was done all the pattern snakes were hung on the wall. Now there’s a very big snake on the wall in the class.

Johannes Itten

Johannes Itten was born in Südern-Linden, where he was educated at the method of Frobel. He was trained at the Art Academy in Geneva but returned to Bern because he wasn’t impressed by the Geneva trainers. In Bern he got some lessons from Eugene Gilliard, an abstract painter. Between 1919 and 1922 Itten gave les at the Bauhaus. He later published the book “Art and Colour” that describes his ideas about the particular composition and colour, based on the colour wheel of Adolf Hölzel. Itten also made a colour wheel: The Colour Wheel of Itten.

The colour wheel of Itten is based on the subtractive coloursytem. Itten has as primary colours red, yellow and blue. The secondary colours are orange, green and violet. There are also tertiary colours that occurs if you mixed the colours of primary and secondary.

If you look at the colour wheel you see in the middle the three primary colours: red, yellow and blue. If you mixed the colour you get a new colour:

Red – yellow = orange

Yellow – blue = green

Blue – red = violet                               

And so you get secondary colours. If you mixed a primary colour with a secondary colour you get again a new colour:

Red – violet = pink (or light purple)

Violet – blue = dark blue

Blue – green = light blue

Green – yellow = light green

Yellow – orange = light orange

Orange – red = dark orange

Probably you think now: “he that isn’t right there are twelve tertiary  colours and here they says six.” If you very good look to the picture you see that there in the outer circle primary and secondary colours are too.

So in real the colour wheel of Itten isn’t quite true.

here you see the primary colours

here you see the secondary colours



here you see the tertiary colours but
also you see primary and secondary
colours!!!




Colours and interieurs

  

If you look to these pictures, it gives you a calm feeling.

  

These pictures are interieurs. The First picture is a very strange because it is an underwater-hotel. The second picture is a restaourant in Sas van Gent and below you see a interieur of a plane. The last one is a boat

This are pictures which are full o colour.

Grafiti drawing

At school we made a grafiti drawing of your own name.This is my grafiti drawing. It was my intension whole the drawing made with stones. But I hadn’t the time to make it done, so that is the reason that the upperhalf not is painted. Notwithstanding that my drawing isn't done, I find it still a nice drawing.

Patterns

Applied Patterns:

                                

The applied patterns were hard to found. I have found two applied patterns: the upper pattern is a tablecloth and the other is a pillow. You can see in the tablecloth the squares that repeated. In the pillow you see another pattern that themselves repeat.

Natural Patterns:

The natural patterns were easier to find than the applied patterns. I've found four natural patterns. I found in the beginning only one pattern, but later I saw that wood a natural patterns is too. Now, I have more patterns. I have a photo of a plant, and one of a kiwi. That is a natural pattern because it is fruit. I have also photos of wood. This is natural, because wood is a plant.

                                        

  

Man-made patterns                                                             

Man-made patterns are the easiest pattern to found. I have found four man-made patterns but I can find hundred patterns. You can see everywhere man-made patterns. It is not so hard to found this patterns. I have photos of a chair, piano keys, a stool and a schoolbag                                           

 

Betekop

   

 



           The title of this piece of art is 'de Betekop'

            I have chosen this picture because it is a typical piece of art in my town Sas van Gent. It is the symbol of carnaval. The artist is Jan Vinke and it is made 12 years ago in the year 2000. The dimensions are

            78 x 60 x50  The materials are bronze and a concrete base.
