Art intensive learning.

Shannon finds a how-to-sketch programme (he found ferns and kiwis)


Yesterday we learned to use chalk before we paint, because when you paint over pencil you can still see the lines but when we paint over chalk it melts.

Today we were researching on the computers for kiwiana symbols. We enjoyed looking at the beautiful pictures and symbols of kiwiana. We saw Hokey Pokey ice cream, Pavlova, Kiwi fruit, Kiwi, L&P bottles, gumboots, jandals, buzzy bee, rugby ball, pohutakawa trees, marae, paua shells and the NZ map.

We found a movie on how to draw a kiwi, and how to draw a silver fern.

We learnt how to make cold colours and warm colours in our dye wash. The warm colours were red and orange and the cold ones were blue and green.

Art Intensive

This week we are doing an Art Intensive. We are learning about Aboriginal Art. The theme of our Art Intensive is Kiwiana so we are mixing them together.

We have made a dye wash for our backgrounds and we are learning (by making HEAPS of mistakes) how we would like our final piece to look.
