Arts Award Silver - Mentoring - Painting Techniques






Destiny continues to mentor her fellow students as part of her Arts Award Silver.  She and her colleagues have already arranged and held their own exhibition and they continue to pursue their artistic interests independently.  Destiny is intent on becoming a photographer and attends a photography course after school on Fridays.  She will be working towards an exhibition of her photographs in the near future.

Destiny has been conducting a number of mentoring session in painting techniques towards her Arts Award Silver.  These include the painting with string and  cling-film techniques:




Water colour paint is applied by dripping or splattering onto wetted paper.

Clingfilm is crumpled and and pressed onto the paint.


After waiting for the paint to dry, the clingfilm is removed carefully to reveal wonderful patterns.
Dipping the string in pots of diluted poster paint and placing the strings inside a folded card or piece of paper.

After placing a heavy book on top of the folded card and pulling the string, identical images appear on each side of the card.
















A selection of Art Work which is being made at the after School Art Club, 
alongside the Arts Award Bronze and Silver.

Collage and Drawing and Painting skills are very much in evidence here.











Some of the work is based on well-known artists' work, such as Georgie O'Keefe.

ARTS COUNCIL OF ENGLAND FUNDED COURSE - Arts Award Bronze and Silver at Oasis Academy Media City Uk

Our Achievements So Far

After the success of our four Arts Award Bronze candidates,  they will be receiving their certificates at a special school assembly towards the end of September.  The school is hoping to keep this event as a surprise from them.  The four successful pupils will also receive a small gift to commemorate their achievements.

Last term Olivia, Yoelle, Destiny and Fanni said that they would like to try the Arts Award Silver and we made some headway toward this new goal.

In my last post I wrote about the Art Exhibition that the pupils organised for themselves at Eccles Community Art Gallery, where they displayed work which they had created during that term.  Two of the pupils, Olivia and Yoelle attended the preview and I was privileged to be able to meet Yoelle's family.  I told her father how hard they had all worked during the past year, and that some of the tasks, for example, the wire work, had been really difficult to manage, but they had all created great results.

During the preview the pupils were interviewed about their various paintings and they responded intelligently to questions both from the interviewer and from members of the public, who took an interest in their work.  The pupils were a little shy at first of talking in public, but they soon became used to this new experience and began to enjoy their moments of fame.

New Projects

As the four pupils have now achieved their Arts Award Bronze, I was invited to undertake a new project with some pupils from the new year's Year 9 intake.  As yet, I have no idea how many pupils, I will be finding all this out on Tuesday.

I have some ideas already about what we will do, loosely based on last year's program.

I do know that this year I will be making better use of the Arts Award resources, including Art Box, which is an online tool for storing the candidates' photos of their art and also of written work, which may be accessed by the candidates, the Adviser (me in this case) and the Moderator.  Art Box, it is hoped, will make it easier for the candidates to take a more active role much earlier in the learning process to assemble and collate their own individual portfolios ready for marking and moderation.

Images of Oasis Academy Pupils' Work for Arts Award Bronze, 2015-16



A painting made using various colours of diluted acrylic paint, 
which has been dripped onto the paper, and moved around
to create the different patterns.


Using string soaked in diluted acrylic paint, which was 
placed inside folded paper, and compressed with a       
heavy object, the string was pulled out of the paper,     
                               to create these patterns.                     

                                                                               

After drawing the design, different grades of wire were
used to create the frame and then the filling for these
spectacles.


The above piece was made from five layers of felt which      
were sewn together around the edges, and the design           
applied in tailors' chalk,  Then the outline was stitched and    
the different coloured felt layers were cut away to create      
the image as shown.  This is called reverse applique.            
In the  example above, embroidery was also applied.            
       

 The pupils created their own beads from air-drying clay,
allowed them to dry and then painted the beads in different
colours, sometimes mixing the colours together on the bead.
One or two beads were threaded onto a silver bangle.


The pupils invented their own characters during their    
sessions on action figure illustration and some managed
to invent a story to accompany the illustrations.              

These are some display boards of the wire and applique 
felt work which went on show at Oasis Academy towards
the end of July, 2016.

Beginning the Arts Award Silver - Took Part in an Exhibition


Oasis Academy Media City Pupils Take Part in an  Exhibition at Eccles Community Art Gallery from 18 June until 9 July, 2016, Eccles Town Centre, Greater Manchester.

Four of the original pupils who took part in the workshops run by the artists/tutors during the Autumn Term of 2015,  have been working towards an exhibition of their own in a local community gallery.The workshops offered to a dozen pupils were inspired by some of the ordinary objects from the Exhibition "Out of the Ordinary" of Colin Rodney Burrows' paintings,

The remaining pupils have been developing their painting techniques during the Spring and Summer Terms this year, and, as part of the Silver Arts Award, they have worked together to arrange an exhibition for themselves of their current art work.


Olivia Mankondo, may have been inspired by the Egyptian history of beadmaking when she decided to paint a portrait of an Egyptian Princess.  Tim Broughton, not content with merely showing the pupils how to make beads, was determined to explain the history of jewelry and other artifacts, crafted by the Egyptians.  He even brought in a piece of ancient pottery which had been excavated by his daughter in the North West of England.
















Yoelle Lalaye took a bold approach and decided to paint an impressive snake entwining a female figure on a large. canvas.  Her first inspiration was a reference to evil battling good,  however the title was changed to "Trapped Mankind".  Yoelle obviously took note of the painting workshops, whereby attention was given to the importance of interesting backgrounds, and she has spent many hours painting the individual scales on the snake.


                                                                         



Fanni Jori also paid particular attention to her rainbow-coloured background on the painting below,  Her painting was inspired by her feelings of happiness and the fact that she loves butterflies.  They are so beautifully painted, that she was encouraged to name the painting "The Beautyflies".






Destiny Jones is a member of the team which arranged the exhibition, although she has been busy with prior commitments and was unable to undertake much painting.  She is represented in the exhibition by one of her best works from a previous workshop,  This work features an image of a pendant or a brooch, made by working on several different coloured layers of felt, which have been sewn together and a design drawn on the top black layer of felt, and stiched around the outlines.  The felt has been cut away to reveal the image in all its glory!

                                                                   


A Poster to advertise the pupils' participation in the Exhibition was devised by the whole team and displayed around the school.

Out of the Ordinary - A course in Painting Techniques for Backgrounds

Painting Techniques for Backgrounds - Tutor: Roisin Keown  - Week 3

Following on from the wire work course, and while the pupils' wire sculptures were on display at Eccles Community Art Gallery and also during the final week of the Out of the Ordinary exhibition at Salford Museum and Art Gallery, Greater Manchester, UK,. the selected year 9 and 10 pupils (ages 13-15) at Oasis Academy, King William Street in Salford, were offered this painting techniques course by Roisin Keown.

Roisin Keown is a recent graduate of Manchester Metropolitan School of Art, who specialises in painting.. She makes gigantic paintings using a technique, which consists of painting stretched calico with an oil-based primer, so that the surface is extremely smooth and allows it to dry thoroughly.  To make her paintings she uses a wide variety of scrapers, and tools to spread oil paint onto this smooth surface.  The effects which are realised are of the elements, the weather, storms, rivers, and clouds..
Trulybreathtaking!

Deutsch: Roisin Keown, Malerin, kommt aus Nordirland. Sie war Studentin in Manchester, und heutzutage malt und lehrt.

The painting techniques that Roisin showed us used pre-mixed acrylic paints of assorted colours, but thinned down even further with water, so that a fairly runny consistency was achieved.  The pupils were shown how to apply blobs of two or three selected colours onto a piece of paper and move it around in the air, to create their patterns.  This was executed enthusiastically by all the pupils and a wide variety and copious amount of work was done in a very short time.


The above was also printed with blue rings.                                                                                                                                                                                                                            




Another technique was to dip one or two pieces of string in the same paint and to place the string between the folded paper (Roisin brought with her an assortment of papers) and then to weigh the paper down and trap the string inside by placing a heavy book on top of the folded piece of paper..  The pieces of string were then pulled out of the paper, leaving a symmetrical pattern on either side of the paper.

                                                                                           












                                                                                             
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           


A different technique used watercolour paint on thicker paper.  A variety of materials were placed onto the wet colours to create different effects.  Materials used for this were rice, cling film and salt amongst others. The pupils were shown how to change a drawing of a cat from a naturalistic image to an abstract one, using these paint effects.  Roisin used some printmaking ideas in her final workshop.
