Dear Marcel,

In art class I have painted a self portrait. It was very nice, we had to paint in the style of Van Gogh. I used the colours black, red and yellow. I like the way the way they can be used together. That why I used those colours. The brush strokes I used because I wanted to make it a bit mysterious and unorganised.

In your painting you had to try to show who you were and what kind of person you were. In the background you can see that the brushes are a bit unorganized, this is because I’m also a bit unorganized. But I also wanted to make it a bit of a mysterious painting but in fact I’m not afraid to tell something about myself so this is a bit adversative.  My mouth is smiling because most off the time I’m a happy person. My eyes are also wide open because I want to learn new things. That is why I made the painting like this.

This is my drawing, off course you can also see how I look, I have orange hear and I have a kind of brown eyes. The darker spot is when I tried to create a shadow on my face. I made my skin colour again but made it a bit darker, however, this bit turned out to be al lot so in the end it became almost like half of a beard and a moustache.  My head is also a bit to small compared to my body.  So when I look at it now I’m pleased with what I made and it was also fun to do.

we were asked to search for a drawing out of your childhood and descride it. this is my drawing:

this is a drawing that I made for my dad's birthday when i was four years old. It shows my dad while he is driving his favourite tractor. I made it togheter with my teacher at that moment: ''Juf Cockie''. I hangs in the office of my dad and when I come in there it is always nice to look at it. It is a nice memory.

trip to Lille!

hello, some time ago we went to Lille! I really enjoyed it and when we got back we had to make a report about a building in Lille. This is my report:

Van Gogh assigment!

Here I am again. This time we had to ''remake'' a painting of the great painter Van Gogh. Of course we could not make it as nice as the one of van Gogh but we could always try! I have chosen for a painting of  his called ''willows at sunset''. In my opinion this is the best painting van Gogh ever made! Here is my version of it:

our own sign.

hello, it has been a while since I posted something. This is because my schoolyear is almost over and then al lot of teachers need some marks so I'm very busy and I post some things now.

In this assigment we had to create our own sign. Something everybody would regonise. I chose to make a light house because of my hair. You had to come up with some Idea's and develop them into your sign. The idea's and how I developed my sign are still at school so I will post them later. Our teacher liked my way of working but the sign not so much but she still gave me an 7.5! this was way more than I expected so I'm very happy. This is what it became:

Assignment about van Gogh

In class we had to ’’copy’’ a drawing of Van Gogh. I have chosen for this one because I like the happy, yellow colours that were used in the painting.

General.

Off course my painting is made my van Gogh, it is called: ’’willows at sunset’’. It was made in 1888 two years before he died. Van Gogh was one of the greatest painters that lived in the 19^th century. He was born on 30 march 1853 and died at 29 July 1890. He only lived for 37 years, this was because he probably shot himself and died from the wound. He made many paintings but he was not popular when he was alive. People started liking his paintings when he died.

The painting.

This is a picture of the original painting:

If you look at you can’t look around the 3 trees in the centre of the painting. There a bit blue/brown coloured. Before it you see a kind grass which probably had this colour because of the sun and also because it was made in Autumn. In the back there is a light blue river were some more trees are standing at the bank of the river. In the back of the painting there is a yellow sun which turns most of the painting in a yellow coloured scene. In the front there is a small green strip. It’s like the title says: ’’willows at sunset’’. It is really a sunset scene.

Elements and principles.

Off course van Gogh used paint to make this painting, it was oil paint. The painting was made on cloth. He used a realistic way of painting because it is realistic, but he also painted a bit abstract. He used aerial perspective because there are now lines leading to a certain point in the painting, however in the sky there is linear perspective because all the lines lead to the sun! There is not really a move direction. Everything is quiet and the trees are straight as well as the reed. It’s just a place where nothing happens.

my opinion about the painting.

I think this is a nice painting, but what is so good about it? it is quiet, there is a beautiful sunset and it is nature without people creating it. But there are also some things that are not so good about this painting, for example that the is not painted very clear (my personal view). I think van Gogh did a great job painting this, the minus points of it are all just a matter of opinions. If I were rich, I would buy it. I think that I’m not the only one that likes this painting, I asked in class and many people liked it. so if you summarise this and you had to give him a mark for it I would give him a 8. Because I like it together with many people and there are two ways of painting in the painting.

Theater verslag

hello,
a long age we went on a theater with school. I'm not sure or this has to be here but I still do it, I had a 7 so that is good enough for me. here it is:

Theater verslag van “Amar’’

Verslag over ‘’Amar’’

Op dinsdag 15 november werden we uitgenodigd om met alle tweede klassen te gaan kijken naar een theater voorstelling. Naar het Schelde theater aan de zeedijk. Van de cabaretier wist ik niks, ik had ook niks voorbereid en was gewoon benieuwd wat er ging komen. Na een tijdje fietsen kwamen we aan bij het theater, we hingen onze jassen op en moesten even wachten tot dat we mochten gaan zitten. We mochten naar binnen en zaten op de tweede rij, verder was de zaal tot ongeveer driekwart vol zonder het balkon achter in de zaal. We keken op een podium waar een paar kapstokken op stonden met kleren eraan en een soort muur in het midden. Hij kwam op via de zijkant en je zat al meteen in het verhaal. Hij werd in de cel gegooid en na een paar geslaagde moppen zij hij hallo. Ook vertelde hij dat hij Marokkaan was. Ook daar kon hij wat geslaagde grappen over vertellen. Er was nauwelijks muziek, alleen het gelach van de kijkers. Echt een verhaal was niet in de voorstelling. Het waren allemaal een soort sketches die soms heel kort waren maar soms ook een aardig lange verhaallijn maar het ging eigenlijk altijd over het onderwerp Marokkanen. De voorstelling was leek heel erg snel te gaan en met tegenzin verliet iedereen de zaal om weer op de fiets te stappen en terug naar huis te gaan. Ik vond het een goede komedie waar amusement op de eerste plaats stond, de verhouding tussen kunst en vermaak was duidelijk: 98% vermaak en 2% kunst. Ik verwachte een beetje saaie voorstelling met slechte grappen maar dat was het totaal niet, het was een cabaretier die grappen maakte waar kinderen om kunnen lachen ook al waren ze soms een beetje grof. Dit was echt het tegenovergestelde van wat ik had verwacht. Mijn oordeel over deze voorstelling is heel goed, ik heb geweldig gelachen en als ik het een cijfer moest geven zou ik toch echt een 8 op 10 geven voor deze lachwekkende voorstelling. Wel vond ik dat hij soms een beetje grof kon zijn maar daar was makkelijk overheen te stappen.   

Rosewindow

we had to make a rosewindow in Gothic style on school. we could put tracery in it and I have done that. I had a 7.3 which was way more than I expected, this is the result:

ENGLAND!!!!!!!

WE WENT TO ENGLAND!!!!!!!!
it was very nice and we did awesome things, for art we had to make a report about it.
thats all I'm going to say, just read the report!!!!!!

Visit to Canterbury

Before the visit:

Tomorrow we leave on a trip to Canterbury, something everybody likes. I think we are going to see a few very nice historical things I will only see once in my live, so I hope it will be much fun and also learn a bit. I think the cathedral will be very nice because I have never seen something like that before. But I think that the museum won’t be so nice because I just want to do something and don’t look all the time. but with the cathedral and fun at the youth hostel that is only a very small negative thing! From the cathedral I don’t know a lot so I hope I’m going to learn a lot of it in England! But I know that the cathedral is build in gothic style, I style I think is one of the best styles of churches. It has a lot of nice decorations and a big tower, almost everything is big. They are nice stain glass windows that tell a story are a nice drawing.

After the visit:

Wow! Its Sunday now and I’m still a bit tired of our trip to England. It were 3 very nice days over there. The journey was really what I expected it to be. The cathedral was very nice, it was totally what I expected from it. I think this because there are a lot of thing that really impress you like big stain glass windows and golden statues. The nicest part was at the back were at one point you could see until the entrance and see how high and long it was. But the museums weren’t half as cool as the cathedral. The Canterbury tales museum was the best, because the little stories were fun. But the two other museums weren’t nice. Because we had to spend a long time in it and if you didn’t like it it was a bit too long. However it was very well organised and if they asked me again I would go without doubting one minute! At the very end in Terneuzen my parents were late because they didn’t received my text message, I want to apology again to Miss Cleijne for the long waiting for my parents.

Here are some pictures of our journey:
