10 Art 2 Reflection Matrix
Tohatoha-Share your learning with a written reflection and post to your student blog.
Use the matrix questions to guide your writing about your work. You are analysing the parts of your work and your responses to these parts
Subject Matter | Form | Composition / Space | Content / Meaning | Your image |
What is the subject matter of your stencil? A Mickey Mouse? Gumboots? Kowhaiwhai? It’s a rose | Does your colour set a mood or structure the picture space? I'm not really sure if it is. | What is the chief interest of your painting? The stencil shape? The negative space? I personally think it’s the rough background. | Does your stencil express any values or ideas? Honestly, it doesn’t, it’s just made up of gibberish as I am not good in arts | |
Is your stencil subject matter a symbol? A logo? A portrait? Something else? It’s a rose with different colours | Are the colours related in bold contrasts or gradual transitions (blends)? Yes, to show the individual more. | Stencils are quite flat. Have you used overlap to create space? I used a sponge to tap it around. | Is the meaning of your stencil changed by the way you paint it? repeating the stencil shape? | |
Have combined your stencil with other imagery? For e.g., used it in a landscape? No, it’s just basically made up of a rough background | Does your painting use a variety of applications of paint? Have you used Impasto or flat painting? A wash, stippling or drybrush? | Tone and Colour contrast create space. Do your colours react against each other? Move forward or backwards in space? Yes, I used negative colours for each roses. | How does repeating a stencil symbol change its meaning? Does it have more emphasis or less? | |
Does your subject matter change? Is the painting more about the colour, form, texture, and space than the stencil subject matter? It’s about the colour and the stencils. | What kind of texture does your painting have? Were you able to control this effect? It has a rough texture. | Does the repeated placement of your stencil create any focal points or leading lines? Yes, it does make the colour darker. | How does the colour used change the meaning of the stencil? For e.g.,if a Batman symbol is painted in pink colour? I don’t really know the knowledge about this. I'm using whatever colour I want. |
Kia Ora Shawn, Great to read your answers about the repeated rose stencil painting you made. It's a very engaging painting. I really like your work. First, the surface was heavily painted (impasto) with orange and then again with blue violet, I see traces of the orange at the edges. You decided to place your stencil across the surface, yes? Did you want to make it stand out from the background? You refer to to "negative colours," what do you mean? Can you explain it to me? You use red in one rose, then black in another. Does the black rose mean something different than the red one? Perhaps you could review some of your answers and comment further. Great work so far.
