Today in art Mrs Vincent was way, so instead of painting we were given a revision sheet for our appraising task that is coming up. We needed to answer questions on some pieces of art work by Vincent Fantauzzo. The questions involved the elements and principles of art used, the colour schemes and some interpretations of the piece. I enjoyed doing this task, however, some questions on colour schemes were difficult as I have not learnt much about them.

Once I had painted the background in gesso, I began painting my unifrom and the rest of my body. It was most improtant to look at our photos at this stage of painting because most of our skin was shaded by our dresses and we needed to show this when painting.

I found it really difficult to create a skin colour that was realistic and close to my own skin colour in the photo. I found it even more difficult to paint the showdows at the top of my legs and on my arms. However, with a bit of help, hopefully I will be able to creat the form necessary to make my picture look effective!
