Static Images


Colour/Green - In this image there is a lot of green and it takes up quite a bit of the image as well. In this image green is representing nature, nature being the big wall of trees.


A newspaper is another form of a static image, it is a written paper that holds information.


A cartoon is another form of a static image. It's a video that holds meaning and is trying to tell the viewers a message.


A painting is like an image, it may look simple but behind it there is a lot of meaning.

During the past couple of weeks in art, i've been working on a art piece inspired by Tracey Tawhiao. I've taken a page from a newspaper and circled out a couple of words and pictures. These words and pictures don't mean anything though. After that im going to draw over the paint, things that that relate to the words and the pictures.
