School from Home - Day 4 - Part 1: Prisoner of Azkaban

Hello Readers,

It's the start of a new day in lockdown and I have made another book cover. This time it's for the 3rd book in the Harry Potter series, 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'. Here it is.

This is my favourite out of all my Harry Potter book covers because it incorporates all the aspects I want while also looking good. Tomorrow I'm making a cover for 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. What is another book series I could do?

See you later!

School from Home - Day 3 - Part 3: Super Symmetry

Hello Readers,

Today's last post is a piece of rotational symmetry art using my name. This is where it looks the exact same when you rotate it. Mine isn't perfectly symmetrical because I made a few mistakes but it is pretty close. Here is my first attempt.




As you can see it is still rotational symmetry because it looks the same but it wasn't quite what I was wanting so I decided to try again and this time I would make the letters connect.
Here is my second attempt.


I liked this one much better so I continued to color in and finish this one. Here is the completed artwork.


I really like my completed picture but next time I would make it a lot neater and use a pencil first because I just went straight in with the sharpie and I couldn't rub out my mistakes. What kind of art do you like to do?

See you tomorrow!

School from Home - Day 3 - Part 2: Chamber of Secrets

Hello Readers,

For my second post today I made a book cover for the second book in the Harry Potter series. I like this one better than the first one because it is simpler and has better colours. Here it is.

I found the image on the front first and that inspired the rest of the cover. Tomorrow I will continue the series and design a cover for 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'. Who is your favorite Harry Potter character? Mine's Severus Snape.

See you next time!

School from Home - Day 3 - Part 1: Eleven Drawing

Hello Readers,

For today's first activity I decided to draw Eleven from Stranger Things. I didn't use a tutorial to drew her so it isn't perfect but I still like it. Here is the picture.




I made her a cartoon so it was easier for me to draw, which is why her head is very big for her body. Who should I draw next?

See you later!

School from Home - Day 2 - Part 3: Perfect Praetorian Guard

Hello Readers,

You might not know this about me but I am a huge Star Wars fan. The final post for today is a piece of artwork I draw featuring one of Supreme Leaders Smoke's bodyguards.  I think these characters are really cool with their sleek red armor and long sword. Here is my picture.



I used a tutorial on Art Hub to draw it and I was super excited to see that they had this character. Are you a Star Wars fan?

See you tomorrow!



School from Home - Day 2 - Part 2: Discover Darcey Bussell

Hello Readers,

It's my second post for today and the task is to research a famous person you look up to and make a presentation about them. I chose Darcey Bussell who is a retired principal ballerina.
I chose to do my presentation on her because I am an aspiring ballet dancer who has looked up to Darcey since I was 4 years old. Here is my presentation.


Darcey Bussell


As you can see from the video she is an amazing ballet dancer whether you are technical about it or not. Who have you admired since you were very young?

School from Home - Day 2 - Part 1: Philosopher's Stone

Hello Readers,

It's day 2 of school from home and I have 3 more blog posts for today. The first one is another book cover but this time I used one of my favorite books, 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'. I found it harder to design a cover for an already existing book because I couldn't use my imagination so much. Here it is.

Back

As you can see I really tried to include things from the book into my design, like the lightning, stone and iconic Harry Potter font. Next time I will try to use better colours because I don't like these ones very much. Tomorrow I will be doing the next book in the series 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'. Have you read Harry Potter, if so what book is your favorite, mine's 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince".

See you later!
