lets get toning

This week in art we have been learning about toning. Toning is the shades and colours or an art work. This week I have been working on my toning skills and have already made progress. Learning how to draw and shade shapes will be very helpful in my future artwork. My next steps are to becoming a better artist is to understand proportions.

Beatriz Milhazes is a Brazilian artist who creates her art based on art from her heritage and references to western art. She works with large art spaces and works by layering different shapes, colours and patterns. 

 

This piece of art stood out to me because it is vibrant and incorporates some ko whai whai like shapes. I like how the colours stand out against each other. She also uses an open composition.
