To experiment with colours

Original Painting

My changed up painting

Photo called: Moon Masque. Created by Lois Mailou Jones

Today LS2 and Rm 5 have been working together to create coloured in drawings. Each LS2 student got paired up with a Rm 5 person to help. I was paired up with Shaun and I helped him with his first drawing and showed him how to use the colors, how to undo, how to show the original picture and much more. We used an app that showed us a big variety of drawings that we could color in. The picture shown above is the drawing that I chose to do, I followed the original and made it look exact and Shaun chose to do the big ben drawing. My drawing is called Moon Masque, by Lois Mailou Jones. I used the brightest colors that were on the color scale so that it would pop. I used the colors Purple, Pink and light green. I really enjoyed doing this as I was able to use my creativity to complete these drawings.

Tuakana Teina

Today LS2 did Tuakana Teina with Room 2. We created pattern designs with Room two as a way to celebrate Te wiki o te reo maori language week. We started with a practice sheet that our buddies could practice on. Once they got their ideas, we started working on the designs. When we finished drawing the patterns we got the glue and started tracing our designs with it. Once we did that we got the string and cut it to the size we wanted and stuck it on. When everything was done we left the glue to dry. When we came back we got some more glue to put over the top to make sure the string wasn't going to come off. When all of that was done it was time for Room 2 to go. We will be continuing this hopefully next week. My buddy Nadia did a great job with her designs, I really likes the patterns she chose out as they were easy to glue on. 

Vincent Van Gogh Paintings | Sunflowers

LI: To paint a still life of sunflowers in the style of Vincent Van Gogh. 

Last week we learnt about Vincent Van Gogh. We learnt that he was an artist when he was alive, and not so famous. When he had died people starting to get to know him and he became famous. Learning about Vincent van gogh, we decided as a class we were going to recreate one of his most famous paintings. The Sunflowers. We started off with practicing drawing on practice paper then using the paint to try an make practice flowers. After we did that we started with our real drawing, we started with sketching out where we thought our vase was going to go. Then we started using the paint. We practiced blending, and shading so that it would help with our real painting.

Vincent Van Gogh timeline

L.I To create a timeline to show the life of Vincent Van Gogh

This week, for literacy and inquiry we worked together to create a timeline of Vincent Van Gogh’s life. We used our smart searching skills to find information about Vincent Van Gogh. Vincent was an Impressionist artist, meaning he liked to paint a moment in time (still life). I worked collaboratively with Haylee, Sakina, and Taheesha to get this timeline completed. We enjoyed learning about Vincent Van gogh as we were able to learn something new. Something we all found interesting was that he cut off a part of his ear and sent it to his girlfriend, because he got into an argument with Paul Gauguin, who is one of his friends. This was interesting, because we wouldn’t imagine someone cutting off part of their ear.

Cityscape of Auckland

L.I To write a description of my cityscape using prepositions

In the center of my cityscape you can see the tall gleaming prominent tower named the Sky Tower. It has an astonishing and fascinating view. Not many know that the Sky Tower is 328 meters tall and took 2 year and 9 months to make. The tower is surrounded by other tall structures such as the Vero building. It is known for the circle shape at the top. In the distance you can see the reflection of the sun shining down from the Sky Tower. The glamorous buildings/structures are all standing tall and glazing at us.

For my background, you can see a gradient color mix using the colors Red, Orange and Yellow. I used these colors as I was inspired by a sunset, The background colors are going Horizontally sideways, normally a sunset would go vertically down but I wanted to mix up the mood.

Digital Drawing of myself

As a great second part of art, LS2 was asked to find a photo of themselves to draw digitally. The Year 7's were asked to get to find a Year 8. The cause of that was so that the year 8's could teach us year 7's how to draw digitally on our google draw. We were taught so well that our drawing looked so similar to the photo. We were taught what tools to use (Poly line & Curve), We were taught how to detail (Highlight, Nose shape and Eye). I was extremely impressed with how my drawing came out. In the beginning it was hard for me because I didn't have much experience with drawing digitally. But as I learnt more information on how to draw digitally, I used the information to create a drawing that looked like my photo.

Steampunk art

L.I To be creative when drawing steam punk art.
This week we went up to LS2 to do some art. The art was called Steampunk art. We had to look at a presentation that Mrs Anderson showed us. It had pictures of steampunk art. It looked cool. We had to get a pencil and paper. We had to draw a design from google. I drew a hat. It had machinery things like a clock, clog, bicycle wheel and a feather. We could design our Steampunk art anyway we wanted to. We can be creative with our design. When we finished we had to show the teacher. I was very proud of my design. We were not allowed to trace, therfore we could not have the exact same design.

Auckland City Scape

L.I: To make a City Scrape

Today for Monday LS1 did a City Scrape. We had to grab a city scrape photo and we had to go over it with black squares. When we finished we had to grab some colored paper and a big black paper. 

When we got it we had to choose one of the papers to be the background. When i did that i cut some small rectangles to give it some details. When i finished the background i got my solawit and i placed it on so it can give extra detail to my City Scrape. 

The solawit was the main detail to this City Scrape. Some students in LS1 has finished there art task. Nicole, Victoria, Farzana and Me were sharing the glue so we were mostly working as a group.
