The Amazing Art Race Challenge 9

Here is an image of my tenth completed challenge. I created my typographic drawing using the word "film" because my object is a film developer reel and without film, it has no purpose.

The criteria for our tenth completed challenge was:

• You must recreate the shape of your object using only words
• You may hand draw or use the computer
• You are only allowed to use words
• The words you use must relate to your object

MEDIA: I used a HB pencil to complete my drawing.

The Amazing Art Race Challenge 8

Here is an image of my ninth challenge completed. I drew my "alternate universe" image based around two of my key components from my mental map; water and film strips.

The criteria for our ninth challenge was:

• Use mixed media (more than one type)
• Use your imagination to create an alternate universe from these ideas
• Must clearly show the ideas from mental map
• Must have details

EXPLANATION:
My universe's source is the bottle of water from my mental map. From the water, I have shown a shower of water as well as incorporating my film strips in the flow as well. The images on my film strips (the stars, aliens, rockets, shooting stars e.t.c) are relative to "the wide universe" and that is why I decided to use them.




MEDIA: I used Aquarelle water coloured pencils, HB pencil and black pen.

The criteria for our sixth challenge was:

• Your portrait must be at least head to shoulders
• You must incorporate your object somehow
• You can use any media

 EXPLANATION:
I used the film developer reel to represent my head and face whilst I used three greyscale strips of film to represent each half of my hair and my fringe. I used a red toned strip of film to represent my clothing/shoulders.





MEDIA: I used a film developer reel and four strips of film to create my self portrait

The Amazing Art Race Challenge 4

Here is an image of my fifth challenge completed. I re-created my object (a film developer reel) out of film strips. The significance of the film strip is because it directly links to my object; you need a film strip in order to fufil the purpose of the reel.

The criteria for our fifth challenge was:

• The image you re-create must be your object.
• The media you use must directly relate to your object
• It can be done on any surface
• You may use your object if it suits the work you are doing

MEDIA: I used two film strips to re-createmy image. To help them stay in circle shapes I used blu-tak.

The Amazing Art Race Challenge 3a

Here is an image of my fourth completed challenge. I drew my object (a film developer reel) showing only the negative space (the background). Because my object has gaps in it, I added negative space in the reel aswell.
Additionally, I used my reel and wound a strip of film tightly around the linking cylindrical shape. The film is difficult to see because of this but it is present.

The criteria for our fourth challenge was:

• Incoorprate a 1-2 similar objects
• Have clear negatvie space
• Do not render you objects
• Filled in negative space

MEDIA: I used a HB pencil to complete this challenge

~Rikki

The Amazing Art Race Challenge 3

Here is an image of my third completed challenge. I drew my object (a film developer reel) being held in my hand. Because this challenge was a blind contour drawing, I had to draw this image without looking.

The criteria for our third challenge was:

• MUST only be one continuous line.
• It must show the recognizable shape of your object and hand.
• You are not allowed to look at your paper at anytime of the drawing process.

MEDIA: I used a HB pencil  to complete my blind contour drawing

The Amazing Art Race Challenge 2

Here is an image of my second completed challenge. I drew my object (a film developer reel) as though it was made out of only metal wire.

The criteria for our second challenge was:

• Use lines only 
• Must show front, sides, and back of your object. 
• Use thick lines for dark and thin for light. 
• Must be 3D and sitting at an angle to viewer.

MEDIA: I used a pencil originally and then went over it with black pen

The Amazing Art Race Challenge 1

Here is an image of my first completed challenge. I drew my object (a film developer reel) on an angle whilst it was on top of a table.

The criteria for our first challenge was:

• You need to draw your object using 3D observational drawing techniques.
• Your drawing must show: tonal modeling with a consistent light source, tonal contrast, detail and texture.
• You must also show some consideration to the space around the object: ie the table or wall (not in detail though, just shade the negative space).
• You must show a shadow being cast from your object.

MEDIA: I used a HB pencil on A4 paper

My 'Amazing Art Race' Object

In addition to my previous "The Amazing Art Race" post, I would like to share the object I was given to draw.

To make this race more challenging, we were not given the choice of what our object was going to be. We had to reach our hand into a bag and pull something out. We were to base all f out challenge drawings around this.

My object is a film developer reel. Here is an image of what my object looks like:

Introduction To The Amazing Art Race

We are currently working on an assessment for Art called "The Amazing Art Race".

Similar to the TV show, we have been given a group of tasks/challenges that we are to complete.

All of our task drawings are ti be based on an object we were given.

Once we have completed a task, after checking it off with the teacher, we can move on to the next.

We are to complete these drawings in our visual diaries as well as share our artwork on this blog, documenting our progress.

Hi there (:

Personally, I find David Kassan's art inspirational. His attention to detail and incredible accuracy when it comes to drawing makes his art a pleasure to observe!

Here is an excellent example of one of his brilliant works of art "Laura No Border"
