Chinese Brush Painting

chinese brush painting is one of the most ancient forms of art.

it is a mix between ancient traditions and techniques.

there are certain ways to make certain lines.

you have to go one direction to make it just right.

after learning a few techniques, this is how mine turned out.

through this project i learned that:

it takes a long time to get the techniques down.

i practiced for a few hours to try and make them look good.

and they still didn't like perfect.

i learned patience and to accept how things turned out in the end.

why i did what i did:

i did some lighter branches in the back and then some darker ones in the front.

i wanted to create contrast between the ones that were closer and farther away.

it didn't turn out quite how i wanted it,

but i my technique makes up for it.

this project is a great way for:

~learning ancient techniques that are sacred to the chinese culture~

~become familiar with different art styles~

~let the students explore chinese culture~

tutorial for this project:

(i promise her project turned out a lot better than my project did)
