I love this! The contrast in size between the whale and the swimmer is so clever; it really highlights the awe of the moment. Personally, I would add a little more to the bubbles and perhaps less even distribution of light, but either way this is AMAZING :)

Celebrate your favourite art!
Hello everyone! (Again.)
I was wondering about how many members of the club have art pieces that they made before joining CGA or before joining our space, and I was thinking you guys might like to share some of them.
If you have any particular favourites that you haven't had the chance to submit, you can add them in your response to this form:
https://forms.gle/kzoPSY1AMSPyLYSc9
I've also included a question so I know where you're okay with your pieces being shared - as hopefully some of these might get to go in assemblies or features!
Emily :D

Feb/March submission
This was my piece for the Van Gogh theme :) Sorry it was a pretty quick one (~1 hour) and an experiment with my acrylic markers so it's no where near perfect, but I was attempting a mix of surrealism and Van Gogh's impressionism ! Unfortunately with this visible brushwork style you can't really mix colours of paint pens, but I've tried my best :')

This is beautiful Shaoey! I honestly thought you'd uploaded one of Van Gogh's own paintings :) I particularly love how the swirls form an eye in the middle. It's cool that you experimented with a new medium as well!

CGA Art Competition
Hi everyone! The Greenwich Neurodiversity Allies Club has approached us and is asking if we'd like to join in with their art competition. The theme is, 'How do you see the world?'
This competition is in honour of Neurodiversity Celebration Week (March 16 - March 22) and is across both the Aoraki and Greenwich campuses. It will be an opportunity for house points and to showcase your art amongst others from Rutherford, Sheppard, Malala, and Hawking.
I will also accept any submissions for the competition as your monthly submission for April :)
Happy creating! Emily

I can't seem to scan the QR Code, it brings me to a QR Code Website. Any help would be appreciated.

February/March Themes
I painted a sea turtle using a watercolor style with small shapes to create texture on its shell and flippers. The blue splashes around it represent the ocean and give a sense of movement. I chose a turtle because it represents calmness and strength, and I wanted the piece to feel peaceful.

I love how you've combined a mosaic style with watercolour paints here Miku. I would perhaps suggest emphasising the dispersion of the blue splashes surrounding the painting if you wanted to develop your idea of motion/the sea, but I also love how there's such a big contrast between the background and the turtle. Well done!

March submission
For the theme of drawing people (this is takina inoue from lycoris recoil). I've been studying using boxes to draw characters and objects in perspective. Still havn't learnt about colour or backgrounds but I'll take this for 9 months of drawing progress. I did this by finding a pose reference then changing it up a bit. CSP says this took 28 hours 😨although that was mostly changing up the pose when constructing, this is way too long for something like this and speeding up my workflow is something I have to work on

It's such as good piece, Andy! Of course, timing is always something to work on if you want but I think your effort is definitely reflected here. The shading and distribution of light is awesome :) Emily

Wow Violette! This looks AMAZING. I think perhaps you could try adding a second eye to the sea lion if you felt the perspective wasn't right, but personally I think it looks great by itself; it complements the range of colours in the background nicely.

Do you think I have enough color in this? This is my submission for the Feb/Mar.

More than enough colour! Some of the shades you've used are quite pale and similar to pastels, so I can understand your question, but the lighter shades work really well for the background. They also provide a nice contrast to the darker greens and black lineart which draws focus to the subject of your piece. Well done!

This is beautiful, Sophia! I honestly don't think I can see anything you'd be able to improve on, except that perhaps the head is slightly too big for the body---although I do also love how that emphasises the face. The expression in the eye is stunning :)
