Pet Day Vaseline Saucer

 We have Pet Day at Ohaeawai School every year and one of the activities we do is to create a symmetrical design on a saucer using flower petals. You put Vaseline on the saucer first to make the flowers stick. That’s why they are called Vaseline Saucers. Here is a pic of me with mine

Art Week 5

 We have been learning about using apps on our Chromebook to create images that look like mosaics or stained glass windows. We used Google Draw to make some and some people also used Sumopaint. Here is the image I made using /Google Draw. I chose to show banana soldiers fighting a cube monster.

Frank stella art

 We have been learning about abstract art. It’s all about creating works of art that don’t actually look like anything. We focused on the American artist Frank Stella, who liked to make pictures using shapes like circles, triangles and rectangles.

Here is my work:

Flax star

 In week 7 we went around the back and learnt how to cut flax. We made flax stars. Here is mine I hope you enjoy.

Whare Tapa Wha

Kia ora

Last week as part of our Whare Tapa Wha learning we sketched important people in our families. We then used water colours to paint our pictures.

What I like about my art is that I am with my family.

Next time I will fill in more of the white spots.

Thank you for looking at my blog.

STEAM

This week we have been doing STEAM about the living world. We got to choose activities. One of the activities was to make an insect out of metal. I made a fly using a spring, nuts, washers and screws. Here is one of my creations.

term 4 art

One was inspired by an artist named Kadinsky who used coloured circles in his work. We looked at the contrast between warm and cool colours and the black and white of the buildings.

Our second piece was using the Maori words we have learnt and using these to create a visual picture. The words become the shape of the picture.

One thing I did well was background and the building.

One thing I could improve on is writing neater.

Greats and Grands day

Last week we had our Greats and Grands day. We wrote poems for our grandparents. Here is my poem about why my grandparents are so special.

We have been working on using different art techniques to draw our faces. We have used sketching pencils to sketch our faces, making sure we made our facial features an accurate shape, size and putting them in the correct places.

We learnt about Picasso’s style and made our own funky Picasso portraits.
