A - African Art

While searching on the internet for african art to inspire me on my final design I ended up on a website called insideafricanart.com and it had lots of different african artists as well as information on themselves. There was one artist that I found called Hendrick Lilanga whose work I thought was really interesting. I liked how he layer out his drawings so that they fill the whole page as well as how he drew the people in his work the had exaggerated features such as large noses lips or ears, he also added colourful blocks into his work possibly to fill the space a little bit more. His background is colourful in his work and contrasts with the people and objects which i think works well.

O - Orange

The colour orange gets its name from the fruit an orange. It is a secondary colour and is created by mixing the colours red and yellow. Orange is associated with meanings of joy, warmth, heat, sunshine, enthusiasm, creativity, success, encouragement, change, determination, health, stimulation, happiness, fun, enjoyment, balance, sexuality, freedom, expression, and fascination.

U - Universe

The universe is known as all matter and energy, including the earth, the galaxies, and the contents of intergalactic space, regarded as a whole or even the earth together with all its inhabitants and created things. I don't know much about the universe so I had to do a lot of research into this to even get a basic understanding. One website I found that showed the scale of things compared to the universe i thought was interesting because it was mind blowing how huge it actually is.Though we have not yet explore our own Solar System fully it is only one of many solar systems in our galaxy. The largest galaxies can have as many as 400 billion stars each with their own star system. There are also more than 100 billion galaxies in the universe. Most of the asteroids in our Solar System can be found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Some of these asteroids are so large that they have their own satellites. There are about 140 satellites orbiting the eight planets in our Solar System. I couldn't find many real photographs of space or anywhere in the universe but i found a few hyper realistic images that I think were created on some sort of computer program they are actually really interesting and I would like to create my own painting similar to this sort of image. I like the bright colours used and all the different hues and tones of the colours. I also like how parts of the pictures are exaggerated like the brightness of the colours and the amount of colours used it makes them look better than an actual photograph
