Glazing in Art

 Glazing with oil paints involves painting a thin layer of paint over top of a regular painting. The glazing creates a reflective layer, it creates a different effect than just mixing colors. It requires a lot of patience because the layers need to be completely dry before you can continue painting. You can thin the layers by adding more oil to the pigment, the oilier the better.

Kaupapa In Art

I have a few art questions to answer in a blog post.

What is your kaupapa? (yes you are restating it)
Birds mainly....

How does this work reflect it so far?
Biiiirdsssss......

How do these works link together?
Well they are all birds.....

Are there missing links or major jumps?
Even though they all contain birds they are all different birds, there were more pictures that I had but I can't find them. If I had found the other pictures there would be a lot more budgies.

Are you demonstrating devices from your artist models? Detail these now

The only thing I can think of that's related to artist models is that I used shading which is new to my art style, although that's only for one of the paintings.

Connections In English

For the connections internal the film Blade Runner 2049 and the text Klara And The Sun, were studied.

• What connections can you draw so far between Klara and the Sun and Blade Runner 2049? For example: themes/ideas, characters, relationships, style, etc.?

The main connection, that I can think of, between Klara and the Sun and Blade Runner 2049 is discrimination. In Blade Runner 2049 it is common practice to think of replicants as inferior beings since the were created instead of being born. Replicants are typically insulted and threatened while still having human thoughts similarly AFs are feared because some of the populace can't understand how they think.

This connection can be stretched further and include the film Gattaca. People without genetic editing, referred to as invalids, are believed to be lesser although the film shows that it is not always true.

• Has your understanding of what it means to be human/have personhood changed since studying these texts? How so?

My understanding of personhood hasn't changed since studying these texts, after all:
                If it walks like a duck,
                If it quacks like a duck,

                Then it's probably a duck.

If a duck shaped robot walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it is basically a duck.

Oil painting but different

 I was doing some things involving sgraffito in art: 

Sgraffito is a oil painting technique that utilizes an undercoat of differently colored paint

to create texture in the paint’s surface.

I even tried making a painting but I can't find a simple way to get an image.
