Roy+Henry+Vickers

Post here if you have chosen to write about Roy Henry Vickers. I will go first to show you an example!

This is called "Dragonfly," by Roy Henry Vickers. It is called a serigraph. I see a dragonfly with it's tail pointing upwards. There is a thick black wavy line outlining the shape. There are only two colours - black and pink. I have seen some First Nations art before with the same thick black wavy line. On his website, Roy Henry Vickers tells a story that, as a boy, he remembers being told that if he ate drogonfly wings he would be a good swimmer. I find this kind of funny because when I think of dragonflies I think of flying, not swimming! I would not like to eat dragonfly wings, but I think they are very pretty. Roy Henry Vickers repeats the lines which make me want to look at it for a long time.

I like how the dragonfly is painted. It is an unusual colour to use and it looks like it came out of a cartoon. It looks like it has perfect symmetry and is the exact same on each side which would be hard to do. -

I am testing out copying and pasting - it worked with this serigraph by Roy Henry Vickers, It is called "A Lot of Bull," feel free to comment on this work below. - Mrs. Brouwer.

This painting is beautiful. It has a mix of hot and cool colors, so it is very calming. I feel it could be a photo that would bring back memories to people, memories of relaxing and free of stress. I like the clouds, how they look like an ocean, and how the painting isn't busy, it is so simple, there is no action in it. It is just a calm night, when all the humans are intown and the animals have buried themselves into the forest. The more you look at this photo, the more you can appreciate it.

This painting is called "Surfer's Delight" by Roy Henry Vickers. He uses warm colors to create a beach with a surfer standing with his surfboard at sunset. The story of this painting is that the artist went to Hawaii and a local man taught him how to surf. He found out that it was very popular and he's loved it ever since. I like how he used black to show reflections, that isn't normally done. I like this picture it is a very calming picture. i like all the mixtures of colours it.it has a very nice story to it with lots of meaning. i this picture reall bring out that he was in hawaii and he was learning how to surf. it tell a great story.

===﻿This piece of art is called "Killer Whale," by Roy Henry Vickers. It is a lithograph. It has only three colours red, white, and black.The story behind this is about a whale, Luna, a young whale who loved boats and people. But one day Luna got to close too a tugboat and got killed by its spinning propeller. I like how Roy uses repetition on the whales body.=== I like killer whales, and this looks really cool.

This is called "Great Landscape," and he says that " I love canoes and I love fishing; they go together well. Every year I spend time in the outdoors enjoying the song my paddle sings. While sitting at home or in my studio, I often return to those quiet places in my mind. I enjoy meeting many people, and I love creative, quiet times. Often I heed the call of the mountain, land and sea and return to the wilderness to recharge, rejuvenate and to allow Mother Nature to soothe my soul in a Great Escape." I chose this picture, because I just love the nature and want to watch it closely, because it's really pretty. He did the lake very well, because you could see the texture of it.
