Frida kahlo.

Over the past few weeks we have been doing frida kahlo art. Frida khalo is a mexican artist. She had to live in an iron lung for quite a long time but then she got to get out, and later she almost got killed in a bus crash that left her limping for the rest of here life and that is when she started doing art.

We used tissue paper for the flower and watched a video clip on how to make one.

I enjoyed painting the eyes.

What I found challenging was to paint the background.

Next time I would change the background color.

This week we were learning about Tom Fedro a chicago artist. My walt was use painting techniques,and my success criteria is long brush strokes,use both sides of the brush,use bright colours,bold lines,tints and shades to show light direction. Have I used all of those things? The girl we were painting is called it girl. I enjoyed doing the bold the because we had to use thin brushes and I love using thin brushes. What I found challenging was drawing the actual it girl and blending. Next time I would change the colours.

Penguin sketch.

This week we were sketching which I think is really hard to do. I enjoyed drawing my penguin because it is my favourite animal and I love drawing or sketching animals. I found challenging to shade my drawing because I am only am god at using actual felts to colour in. My digital object shows that I can sketch a penguin. Next time I would sharpen my pencil so that the shading looks better. I hope you like it!!!

 

Te kuri a Paoa.

 This week we have been learning about Paoa and Kiwa through art. We had to do some experiments on blending pastel together to create colours, we figured out that blue and yellow made light green. We smudged lots of colours to make the fur and saddle look like the real colour. My favourite part was drawing young nicks head because we got to blend lots of colours together. The hardest part of all was designing the patterns up the top. I hope you like my post, This is my art of Te Kuri a Paoa.

Art/taking photos

 We were looking in the Rerenga Awa to take photos of the native plants. 

We did it on a cloudy day so we could get good lighting. We thought about how the light shone through the leaves. We also thought about what was in the background. We didn't want buildings or people in our photos.

It was hard to choose the right picture for the photo competition we are entering because I liked them all.

Have you ever taken photos of native plants using your chromebook before? What did you find tricky?

Creating pictures.

I chose a different colour because I did not like the plain brown so I made it a little more colorful.I can see  that in the original has the background darker than the brown on the jacket.I now that the lines are all wobbly and not straight.
