Arts & Crafts with Mr Soriano: June 2015

The line can be defined as an unbroken succession of points. It is the most versatile plastic element and can satisfy a great number of features in the representation. In the plastic line we can distinguish different configurations depending on their thickness, intensity, color and uniformity.

STILL LIFE IN POINTILLISM

Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image. Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed the technique in 1886, branching from Impressionism. Still life is a work of art that represents mostly inanimate matter, typically commonplace objects which may be either natural (food, flowers, dead animals, plants, rocks, or shells) or man-made (drinking glasses, books, vases, jewelry, coins, pipes, and so on). In this work we mixed both things to get these results.

ZENTANGLE ART

The Zentangle Art is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun method to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns.

Everybody can use it to create beautiful images. It improves focus and creativity, provides artistic satisfaction along with a real sense of personal satisfaction. The Zentangle Method is enjoyed all over this world across a wide range of skills, interests and ages.

I strongly believe that life is an art form and that the Zentangle Method is an elegant metaphor for meditate artistry in life.

I am really astonished by my students work!
