My Fisrt Art Activity


 To start drawing, I need a theme. IB Leaner Profile says that students have to be balanced. And as I understand, the word balanced includes a good time management and efficiency. So I decided to set up a theme that I am already familiar with, Maiko San and Geiko San. Maiko and Geiko are Japanese traditional dancers. I love Japanese culture, especially kimono and Maiko's make up. I used to draw Maiko San for my IGCSE project 2 years ago and I really liked it. I thought drawing with this them, can help me to save my time for homework and other CAS projects.



   The First Step

 I didn't really draw anything during my summer vacation, so it would be difficult for me to draw with chalks, watercolors or any other equipment that require special skills. So I decided to make the process simple. This first drawing would be a reproduction of a photo by pencils.

 This is the picture I have chosen.


 1. A rough draft
2.Shading...the neck & the face
 3. Hair and the accessaries


4.Kimono ( the cloth)  and a hand
  

It took about 30 minues to find the picture from the Internet and draw the skeck. Next time I want to compleate drawing. I will have to draw an umblrella, finish shading and adding details.



Learning outcomes are;
- Increase awareness of my strengths and areas for growth
- Planned and initiated activities
- Shown perseverance and commitment in their activities
