Kandinsky Art

Kia ora,

Last week, we learnt about Kandinsky art. I chose a turtle because my grandmother got it for me when I turned six. I cut the turtle out of black paper. The learning behind this task was to know what are cold and what are hot colours. I enjoyed colouring in the background. What I found hard was making the turtle.

Here it is:

This term we have completed two pieces of 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.

Some things I did well were the Maori words and the black and white of the buildings.

Some things I could improve on is the warm colours and the circles.

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.

Here is a photo of us on Greats and Grands Day.

Kauri art

We have been learning about Kauri dieback. We made a piece of art about kauri dieback. First we drew clouds then dyed the background with blue. After we used a brown piece of paper and dipped our fingers in paint and dabbed them on the paper. After we ripped green pieces of paper and glued them on our trunk. We wrote slogans after.
