Artist Study

For Artist Study there are four groups and all different styles. I am in Pete Cromer's group.  We are doing native animals. I have decided that I am doing a Pukeko or a Piwakawaka. Here is some examples of what Pete cromer does on the slide.

Art

Watching a video of Sandra Silberzweig. She is a famous artist for creative art. I tried my best but I didn't have time for any little detail. Room 1 did abstract Picasso. Koka Katie and Koka Kathleine were so nice, because they let us be free with our art.

The chin of my art makes my whole face look extremely fat. I did about 10 tries and only got 1 right. In my opinion block colours make your art pop more which I like better. I spent a lot of time getting the face shape right so the colours don't work well together.

                                                                        Workshops:

My favourite workshop is maths because we have been learning about decimals. My writing workshop is fun to because we have been doing observations. Reading workshops are fun because we observe a picture. 

                                                                                Priorities:

Our priorities are Maths whizz, quickwrite, reading writing maths evidence, blog post and word work. My favourite priority is maths whizz. We have a check off so when we finish or work we check it off. I like priorities because they are really fun to do.    

                                                                              Leaf art:

My leaf art is of an autumn leaf. We used warm colours for the inside of the leaf, cold colours for the background. There will be a picture of my art on the slides. I really liked doing leaf art. We did leaf art with Koka Jo.

Drain Art

I was at assembly, the teachers were talking to Wainui Beach School about discovery. They said there is a new activity for discovery, drain art. I was delighted that there was more art in discovery. Koka Rachel and Koka Joe had a big talk about what drain art is about. Drain art is a piece of art with a little message to tell people not to drop junk down the drains. I thought this was a great idea. If you see rain water drains you probably wouldn't think it is a rainwater drain, you would think it is a place to put your junk.

We got a scrap piece of paper and did our draft on there. My design was the sea and poking out of the sea was a whale tail, there is a little message at the top that says don't be mean keep it clean in cursive writing and a sunset as the background. I worked by my friends Kayla, Lola and Kale'a. I kept second guessing myself by going, is this the best idea is this a bad idea is this a good idea.

I checked my design with Koka Rachel. She gave me a piece of paper to write about how it will get people to not drop junk in rain water drains. She photo copied my art gave me one and took a picture of the other and sent that to the people. I went outside to do another activity because I finished my art. I was looking forward to a nice day at school and a delightful weekend.
