8A Art Exhibition review...

On Wednesday 9th July 2014 pupils in 8A were invited to take a tour of the SBH Art Exhibition. They were set the task to pick their favourite piece/s of artwork, photograph and write a review.

I think that this painting is very eye-catching when you walk in to the art gallery and when you first see it. It uses a range of bright and dark colours in the piece with a very nice contrast. Instead of using one tone of green for the background, this piece features different tones of green which gives it a three dimensional effect to it. The painting is a painting of a person crying and the artist uses appropriate colours needed for this piece of work. Although it is not a very busy piece of art it is still a simple and unique piece of artwork. Another reason why I admire the painting, instead of using normal tears, he uses tears of blood and you can tell straight away that this boy is in a very bad position. To go along with this theme, the artist has added a bloody hand print on the left of the boys shoulder, this shows lately he has suffered a lot. This is one of the many reasons the art piece stood out to me. Also, the eyes are painted very big and bold so that it looks as if he is very upset. Overall this is a very emotional picture.

This beautiful picture is of a character in a popular manga called Bleach created by Tite Kubo. I chose this picture because of its shading and attention to detail. The 3d effect works very well too. This picture will be extremely familiar to any fans of this anime and manga. The teeth on Ichigo (the character) are brought into life with the great shading. Overall a very well drawn picture of Ichigo Kurusaki.

The piece we have chosen is the dragon by David Clarke. This piece was inspired by Southborough High School as it is wearing a school blazer and has a collar. I like this piece as the artist has emphasised the scales by adding a different colour to make them stand out. It uses a range of colours that work well together and uses different shades of green to show it. This dragon is at the front of the gallery and looks like it represents the School and welcomes visitors the gallery. It would be even better if the artist gave it more red to stand out and if the the hands were made less flat. The thing that drew us to this piece of art was the fact that he used so many colour that work well together and help to represent the dragon. It looks like it was styled on a frog and inspired by a dragon.
