Geometric Masking Art

In art we were making geometric art using the masking technique. Geometric means simple shapes. Masking is hiding an area of something.

First we practised sectioning the parts off digitally on a Google Drawing to get an idea of how to section off pieces of the paper.

Then we moved onto the real copy. We first created the frame, after that we sectioned off the pieces. The technique we used was to section off big parts then section them smaller.

After that we started colouring. To colour in the sections we moved the pastels in one direction to get a sharp look to the shapes.

I think the art turned out really good at the end and I enjoyed the activity a lot.
