Back to Stylisation

This is a process, but it is not a linear, step-by-step one. There is room for all sorts of creative influence to arrive and be a part of the journey, as your head thinks things out with a pencil.

Last lesson, we looked at this process with an 'exemplar'. That is an example work that shows you a way of thinking something out visually. It is not the only way of making the art work, it is meant to help you get comfortable with trying out a new process by seeing it done by someone else.



This exemplar is the one we referred to on Friday. It is on the google site as well and you should be able to access it whenever you like.

Key things to remember before we start on Monday:

  • This is not the only outcome
  • I have referenced both Art styles studied; Art Nouveau, Kowhaiwhai
  • The original koru come from the veins of the leaves being made prominent
  • You use your leaf form to create your own stylised version
  • One drawing is NOT enough work. It is a start. That is like writing one sentence and calling it an essay.

Your outcomes for the end of Monday's lesson are:

  • A full page of ideas (plural).
  • Excellent drawing skills, you all can, so you may as well show off.
  • Something within that wonderful page that can be used as a print next week.
