Last week, we made a drawing based on the Panmure Basin, which is a significant part of our local neighborhood. We recently went there, so it was fresh in our minds and served as good inspiration for our art project. The basin is an important and recognisable spot in our community, and using it as the subject helped us connect what we see and learn outside of the classroom to our artwork.
While working on the project, I and my partner paid close attention to making the tracing neat and detailed, trying to capture the specifics of the scene. It was interesting to see how each person’s artwork was different, even though we all looked at the same place and used the same idea to create our pieces. This showed me that everyone sees and interprets things differently, even if they’re looking at the same thing.
Doing this activity not only helped me get better at observing the details in my environment but also made me more aware of what’s around me in the community. I learned more about the basin and what makes it special, and I enjoyed seeing all the different ways people expressed their ideas through art. Overall, it was a good experience because it made me pay more attention to the local area and think about how I can turn what I see into art.
Hi Jenesis I really like your photo for the Basin walk I think it looks really cool and I liked how you explained the environment. Maybe something else you could do is make the photo more bigger.
