You had to make a collage, which expressed
your character. For this you could use pictures from the internet or from
magazines. The only thing we had to pay attention to, is that we couldn’t use
text in the pictures.
For the background I used a movie board, because I watch a lot of movies. I
also used some pictures from some covers. Later I realised that there was text
on the front, which wasn’t allowed. I decided to leave it this way, because I
liked it the most.
The teacher gave me a 7.8 and I am very happy with my mark.
For
this assignment we had to make a book jacket for an existing book of for an
imaginary book. We could use any material, which was available in the
classroom.
I decided to make a cover for a book written by Tess Gerristen, The Surgeon.
This is a crime book, so I wanted to show this. I tried to do this by making
blood strikes for red ink. In the book they are trying to find evidence and
that’s why I made some fingerprints. I used the cones and the yellow cards to
show it is a crime scene.
For this assignment I got a 7.3 and I am pleased with this mark.
For this assignment we had to make two
self-portraits. This had to be done in the Vincent van Gogh style, which means
short stripes next to each other and that might cross each other. For the
background you had to pick two colours, for the clothes two and for the face
two. In the second painting these colours needed to be different from the first
painting. Those colours had to fit with your personality and your emotions at the
moment of painting.
I like the unfinished painting the most, I like the bright colours. From the
finished painting I really dislike the hair, because it looks like I have short
hair. I also do not really like the dark colours; I wish I had used different
colours.
I had a 7.3 for this assignment and I am really happy with this mark. I did not
like the paintings so much, so I was kind of surprised with this mark.
