This blog is about what we did in 3 weeks of learning all about Emily Carr. She was a Canadian artist and writer who was inspired by the Indigenous people of Pacific Northwest Coast. One of the painters in Canada to adopt a Modernist and Post-Impressionist style, Carr did not receive widespread recognition for her work until she changed her subject matter from Aboriginal themes to landscapes — forest scenes in particular, evoking primeval grandeur. As a writer Carr was one of the earliest chroniclers of life in British Columbia. The Canadian Encyclopedia describes her as a “Canadian icon”.
Lesson one: Using Pressure Word Art. We learned how to do our names with a piece of art, and how to make it out of lines.
This is what I have made.
Lesson two: Sketch Note Reflection. We had to earn how to make scotch notes. Scratch notes are something where you draw, and write ideas down.
Lesson three: Shading Reflection. We learned how to shade in on our iPads just like real artist do on their canvases. It was a great skill to learn and I’m sure it would help to some of the people who has also learned that.
I cant say this one was one of the best works, but it didn’t turn out super bad.
Lesson four: Perspective Reflection. We learned how to use layers in Sketches Pro. It’s also a very useful tool to outline picture. A lot of artist use it. I used a picture of my friend for that project.
