I have updated the site with another screencastify of good and bad DPS, and hopefully, you all have a handle on clipping masks and using the opaque/transparency function.
A couple of things I covered with individual groups during the lesson were:
themes; what is your basic theme? does your design represent it? Te puna auaha - spring of creativity. can I see anything that visually represents this? if not, what can you do about that? Does your font relate to your topic you are writing about? And with Molly, Natasha and co, what can you take from Wassily Kandinsky and Tchaikovsky to your work? That was a big leap by the way.
For any of you who are interested in going off on a tangent; Kandinsky had synaesthesia. It means he would hear stuff and then see shapes and colours in response to what he heard. It is very rare.
Kandinsky, who was from Russia, loved art and music.
Tchaikovsky was a highly passionate composer of classical music and he was also from Russia:
The richness of the layers in the music lends itself well to how a synaesthetic artist could work.
A modern day version of this kind of composer would be Freddie Mercury. I wonder what would happen if someone drew and painted to the music of queen in a similar manner?
Once downloaded, there are a couple of videos of our lovely senior voices with soul vocalists I will share that illustrate the layers and complexity of the music, which would translate beautifully into art if someone chose to do so.
