Art Colouring Book

 

 

This morning we tried one of this year’s Summer Learning Journey activities. The purpose of this task was to experiment with colours by mixing colours from the original palette with pop colours. This allowed us to recolours famous painting or images of landmarks around the world. I likes how I could combine different types of colours and make it look different then what I made before.

Tuakana Teina

This Wednesday, Rm 2 worked along with LS2 students for Tuakana Teina and created an artwork dedicated towards Maori Language week. Tuakana Tiena at our school is a time when senior students help the juniors through learning. This is good for us as we could contribute to learning in an exciting way with younger students while being leaders, and also appreciating the Maori culture for this week. My partner, Luna worked really well together to come up with some creative design patterns for our panel. The goal was to encourage the younger students to do most of the work and get them out of their comfort zone to be able to try new things with their learning. The art we created was drawn with chalk on black cardstock paper and overlined with twin rope to almost accentuate and bring out the detail of our designs of our string art panels. I really enjoyed helping my partner create her art and of course working collaboratively with Luna.

Vincent van gogh painting

For art, we created the sunflowers of Vincent van Gogh's painting since we have been learning about him. Our first step was to make the horizon line that would help us build our structure of the vase and the line between our background. To make the petals we did a technique called flat hold and flip that creates the effect of a petal. For the center of the flower, we added shading and texture by dabbing out the paintbrush to make the sunflower look, we also added the colour copper for the look of brown. We mixed different paints to get the right colour to make it look realistic.

Vincent Van Gogh Timeline

LI: 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 Florence 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.
