Week 2 Term 3 ART Update

This year my kaupapa in art is City and Urban world I’ve been working on little art prices throughout the year. Here are a few pictures of what I’ve done so far

 -this is one of two art pieces that I have made of a park bench I think this one here is not the greatest as I was still getting used to watercolours. I like the use of colour for the wood but just needs a bit of improvement overall

 This is a digger that I drew in charcoal as I was going to try to incorporate the construction, side of the city theme into my portfolio. This piece could do with some more detail and refinement and I think this piece would look better with a more of a detailed background.

 This here is one of my favourite pieces I have done to date it has two variations a coloured one and a black and white one both of them have a small amount of detail.

I made this piece as a test of how watercolours blend and mix to help me get a little more skill I think if I went over the painting again and layered some parts up it would look quite good

this photo here shows the charcoal drawing I made of the sky tower I feel as it is out of proportion and needs redoing as I feel like I rushed through it

This was another drawing where i tried to add the construction side of the theme in. as you can see the crane in the background and the layered building that is getting built

This is also another one of my favourite pieces it a very abstract piece compared to all my other works but I think it works well and looks good

I

here is the start of another abstract art piece where I've just gone over the paper randomly with different colours

JOJO RABBIT ANSWERS

1. because it's a different way of showing how people were thinking as adults can choose their thoughts as this happened later in their life whereas Jojo was brought up into a nazi society, therefore, it's all he's grown up knowing

2. if the text was written to be based around an adult I think it would have a completely different storyline as some of the adults had very strong beliefs and had a smallish idea of what they were thinking.

3. He used a child's perspective as this helped show the audience how the nazi era had an impact on children while being able to use an aspect of humour through childlike behaviour.

4. The children in the Film are represented in a way that shows they are curious and questioning what's going on whereas the Adults are represented in a way that shows they are very opinionated and believe in what they think

5. I think that during the film Jojo used his imaginary friend Hitler to help him get through different stages during the film this was shown in one of the starting scenes where Jojo was getting bullied so he ran off and "Hitler" said some things to him which inspired him and he ran off all happy
