Etching

Last Friday, our class started a piece of art called etching. Etching is very unique piece of art compared to other pieces of art our class tempted to do. It is really distinctive compared to the matariki art our class did and the theme was based on Vincent Van Gogh's art, starry night. If you want to perform etching yourself, you will have to pick a theme, the theme I picked was flags. To do this you will have to divide a piece of paper into three parts. (If you want to be creative divide in anyway, the parts do not have to be the same.) When you decided how you are going to divide it, choose three different colours for each part. The colors I chose were the three hot colors, red, orange and yellow. Next, paint the three parts and wait for it to dry, thereafter pick three other colors and paint over your three recent colors. Then use a popsicle stick to create your picture, but you will have to draw while it is wet. When you finish your piece of art, you get to witness how great your work turned out to be. Many artists have performed etching like, Francisco Goya, Pablo Picasso, Daniel Hopfer and many more artists.

This piece of art was made by David Hockney.
