Dear Diary,

      "Direct Observation"


This is my own sketched image of a Bicycle that I had drawn originally Photographed by Sheldon Brody in 1967. Through observing the Photograph displayed on the board. I analysed the image focusing on the key elements of VIsual arts. Through observing the image I was able to look at the different tones, colours, patterns, lining, shapes, volume, etc used in the Photograph.
 

This activity is seen as enjoyable and engaging to incorporate in the classroom as this activity will further allow students to explore the various use of elements and principles that is involved in art making process. students take on a role by critically reflecting on their artwork it self by asessing from the folowing three questions such as; What is it?, Who made it?, What is it about?, etc. students are given the opportunity to explore the importance of these elements and techniques, it will allow students to strongly create a sense of meaning and understanding towards the art work.

Art is Man's nature.  Nature is god's art.  ~James Bailey
