Room 4 - Calendar Art (Part One)

Today Room 4 came to the Art Room to prepare their art for the calendar fundraiser that Tamaki Primary are doing this term. It was really exciting to work together to begin to create BEAUTIFUL pieces of art.

We are focusing on using hot and cold colours. Our art media today was sketch pencils and vivids for outlining. Next session we will be using oil pastels to fill our artwork in.

The artist we used for inspiration was Pablo Picasso. We discussed how Picasso likes to mix up emotions, colours and facial features in his artwork to make it look interesting for his audience.

So, enjoy the images of our part one! Part Two will be coming soon....

Term 2, Room 4 - Picasso is in the House!

*Room 4!* - (Years 3/4)

Picasso is in the house!

Today instead of learning about a new art media, we learned about a famous artist - Picasso. 
It was really interested learning about how he did his art, and the things that interested him.
We were surprised to find out that he loved using lots of colour in his art - just like us!

Firstly, we learned how to sketch realistic self-portraits. Then we went over our outlines in 
vivid, before cutting up our art into 8 pieces - this was a lot of fun!

After this, we using crazy colours to colour in our self-portraits! This was so much fun! It was 
really funny putting the artwork together and laughing at how we looked in multi-colour!
SoWALT: draw accurate self-portraits.
WALT: create a piece of high quality art.
WALA: Picasso!
WALT: use the colour wheel to choose colours for effect. 
Art Media: Sketching Pencils, Pastels, Vivids. 
Key words: Picasso, Colour Wheel, Accuracy, Realism vs Abstract

You can now find our art in the school corridor near our music room!

Reflection: 

• Our favourite part was putting our art together and laughing at the result!
• The hardest part was keeping up the quality of our colouring with the pastels.
