                                                 Hayao Miyazaki:

1. What techniques does he use?

= When producing artwork and storyboards, Miyazaki uses watercolors and different coloured pencils.

2. How could his artwork relate to mine?

= I believe that his work can relate to mine because I enjoy creating a variety of my own characters. However, I think that our artwork has differences based on how we use different materials. I tend to use materials such as fine liners and pens.

3. Compare Miyazaki to another artist: ( similarities and differences)

= The artist that I would like to compare to Miyazaki is Tim Burton. These two artists are both film directors. Also, they both use the same materials when making pieces of art. The main material that they both use is watercolor. The difference between Miyazaki's and Burton's work are their art styles and colour schemes. Miyazaki's art style is Anime/ American and Burton's art style is Gothic. The colour schemes within Hayao Miyazaki's films are lighter compared to the colour schemes in Tim Burton's films. I have also noticed that within Miyazaki's films that most of the protagonists are female. Whilst Tim Burton does has a few female characters within his films, they usually are not the main protagonist. 

4. About Miyazaki's Visual Style:

= I believe that his Anime/ American style is effective because there are a mixture of elements with the landscapes and characters that have cartoon and realistic features. Along with this realism, there is uses of the visual elements that are tone and texture.  

5. Why I like Hayao Miyazaki's Art:

= I like Miyazaki's art because of his unique character designs. I like the characters because some of them link to Miyazaki's beliefs. He strongly believe's in spirits and this can be evidenced within his films such as Spirited Away. Another reason why I like Miyazaki's art is because his colour schemes set the mood of each scene for viewers watching.

Screen Printing: Recently, for the Popping Out project, I have been experimenting with different techniques. For this lesson, I experimented with the technique of Screen Printing. I enjoyed this lesson as I was able to learn a new skill whilst using a variety of materials. The materials that I have used are: a baking tray, fabric, tissue paper, card and paper.     I like how my design has turned out on the baking tray as I've applied a dark, solid colour ink onto a shiny surface. Also, the colour of the baking tray doesn't draw your attention away from the design.  For my second piece of work, I printed onto purple fabric. I am happy with the final outcome for this piece as I wasn't sure if applying dark ink onto dark coloured fabric would be effective. I think that using the fabric has made this piece successful as it has added the uses of texture. However, for future lessons, I think I will try using lighter coloured fabrics as it would make my design appear much b...

                                               Popping Out: My eight panels After producing my thumbnails and character designs, I began to create my eight final outcomes. When making these panels, I have continued to apply different uses of line work. Also, I've tried experimenting with a variety of mediums. For this final task, I decided to make a booklet. For my first panel, I have shown my character on her way to post a letter. Within this panel, I've drawn the leaning tower of Pisa in the background. To add details onto the building, I have used pencil. I've used shading with this medium to suggest the uses of tone. Also, I've used pencil and fine liner to add a pattern of short lines to parts of the building. I've done this to add patterns and shadows. For the grass, I have added texture by using oil pastels. The last mediums that I've used is pen. This medium ha...

                               5 Contemporary Artists that I like: Here is a list of 5 Contemporary Artists that I like based on their line work: Tim Burton- Before Tim Burton became a well known and successful film director, he started his career as an Illustrator.  I like Burton's artwork because he isn't afraid of experimenting with a range of materials. A lot of his work is produced by using: watercolours, pens, paints and pencils. I think that the marks and lines that he produces are interesting because they are very expressive and they allow him to add tone and personalities to his characters.  Quentin Blake- I have always enjoyed looking at Quentin Blake's Illustrations because I have grown up seeing them when I read books by Roald Dahl. What I particularly like about his artwork is his imaginative, child-like style that draws you into the quirky characters within the books. The materials t...
