Art

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 was the back ground and the hot colours. Some things I could improve on is the towers by making the patterns on the inside tidier.

if you ever see a kauri tree, always remember that you have to stay on track other wise if you're still making your way to the kauri tree and you're off track, you could pick up the bug and when you get to the tree all the bugs could fall on the roots and the tree could die. To make our kauri art, we started by drawing clouds with white crayon. Secondly, we dyed the background blue. Thirdly, we finger painted the tree trunk and the ground. Fourthly, painted some paper with sponged, waited for it to dry and ripped it up to make leaves. Finally, we added slogans about saving the kauri tree, such as "Stay on track".
