How Can Year 8 Students Balance Personal Style and External Inspiration in Their Art?

Balancing your own style with ideas from others in art can be an exciting adventure for Year 8 students! Here’s what I did:

  1. Check Out Different Styles: Look at various artists, both famous and local. Websites like Pinterest, art books, and online galleries are great places to start.

  2. Spot What You Love: While you explore, pay attention to what catches your eye. Is it the colors, shapes, or themes? Write down your thoughts in a sketchbook.

  3. Blend Ideas Together: Take your favorite parts from these inspirations and mix them with your own style. For example, if you like Van Gogh's swirling skies but want to use your own characters, try making a picture that brings both together.

  4. Create, Try New Things, and Think About It: Make lots of art pieces. As you keep creating, you'll notice your style changing while still adding in new ideas.

Remember, the most important part is to have fun and show who you are!
