Art - Crafts

WALA frame making!

Check out what we have been doing for our Art Craft so far this term!

Our class favourite so far was Mary's because she had SO MUCH detail!

Thanks to 'The Tile Clearance' who donated us the frames to us.

Middle School Art Extension

WALT use different art media to create a masterpiece!

Today the Year 3-4 Art Extension group met for the first time! Mrs Manuyag decided that before we learn how to use each type of art media with more depth and skill, we need to actually try out the media!

It was really fun today using the watercolour blocks to fill in our backgrounds. Next week we are excited to use oil paint vs acrylic paint!

Art Technology - Term 3, 2014

Welcome to our Art Technology group for Term Three!

We are working in conjunction with our school Inquiry topic for this term - 'Tagata O Le Moana' - People of the Sea.

To start our term, we had to create a way to share information about water pollution with our school. When looking online we found 'Drain Art'! We decided this was a great way to share about water pollution with our school.

Here are some images of our brainstorms - we are currently getting ready our life-sized drafts to show Mrs Kelly. 

Room 4 - How to make a Picasso Self-Portrait!

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.

Term 2, Room 6 - 'The Mountains Around Us'

*Room 6!* - (Years 5/6)

Breathtaking artwork!

Room 6 were astonished by the calibre of art we completed with Mrs Manuyag. We knew we 
were good artists, but this was amazing! We started by discussing our key words -
perspectives, layers, and landscape. We then learned about the colour wheel, and how to
make colours pop! Then we blocked in our landscape, painted (which was harder than we 
thought!) and then outlined. 

Check it out!

So
WALT: draw layers of nature to show perspective.
WALT: use the colour wheel effectively.
WALT: plan our artwork to use space creatively.
WALT: use the colour wheel to choose colours for effect. 

Art Media: Sketching Pencils, Paint in Primary Colours, Black Paint, Paint Brushes, newspaper, 
palettes
Key words: Perspectives, Layers, and Landscape

These have now been displayed on the front wall in our school hall, and have already 
received rave reviews!
Reflection: 

• Our favourite part was looking at what we had completed at the end.
• The hardest part was the painting - it took ages to dry and was hard to stay in the lines. 

        We think we need more practice at this!
