Recycled Art

As part of our term 1 theme about being 'Caretakers of God's world' D1 made some amazing artworks using recycled items with Mrs Thompson. Can you look at these pictures and work out what they used?

Are you catching any fish, Phoebe?

Do you like being in a boat, Madeleine?

Your art looks awesome hanging up in the classroom, D1!

We're Going to the Art Room...

Last Friday, D1 headed off to the high school for our 3rd art lesson. We have been working hard and this was our lesson this time:

Mrs Sneddon thought D1 was working so well that she needed to plan ahead in case we finished quickly! Some people might be working on our term 2 theme soon: God Never Changes

Phoebe was adding some really cool patterns inside her letters. Jonathan was concentrating hard while he worked on another table.

Matthew M added a design to the background.

Mrs Sneddon showed us some lettering from old Bibles. Matthew Y liked one of the patterns and worked really hard to use it in one of his letters.

When Phoebe finished her letters, the next step was to add a black outline around them.

D1 have been doing some wonderful self portraits with Mrs Thompson on Tuesdays. Please do come in and see them if you can! The children have also been completing a mihi about their family and this is hanging below their portrait. Here is Jimin's work:

Jimin said "I look just like my mum!"

Ka pai, Jimin!

Our Second Art Lesson

Last Friday we went off to the high school art room again. D1 did a great job of remembering how to behave and what to do to be ready. I think Mrs Sneddon was pleased!

Our new learning goals...

...and another example of what we are aiming for!

Phoebe concentrating hard...

Samantha going from her practice page to the publishing card...

Sarah W doing a creative design...

Jonathan looks pleased with his progress!

Keep thinking about your letters and what you want them to look like, D1!

We're going to the art room...

On Friday, D1 went up to the high school art room to have a lesson with Mrs Sneddon.

It's so exciting!

When we got there, Mrs Sneddon told us how to use the art room properly. She had written on the board what we were going to do.

Sounds good...

Next we played a game of 'Art Chinese Whispers'. One person had to put 5 letters of the alphabet on a piece of paper then whisper where they were to someone else. The whisper traveled up the team and the last person had to draw what they heard on the board.

This was really hard...but fun! Jimin checking her team's answer.

Finally we thought about our theme for the term - God is Number One. Mrs Sneddon said that we would be learning different ways to write this and make it into a piece of art!

Here is an idea of what we will end up with.

So we got to work...but our time was over all too soon!

William, Sam C and Mach all ready to work.

Thanks, Mrs Sneddon. We can't wait for next week!
