Art colourng book - Step it up challenge

 L.I to use TEEL paragraphs to explain out colour choice

Last week I completed the step it up challenge from the summer learning journey activities. The purpose of this task was to explain our colour choice using the language and vocabulary we learnt from watching the informational video. I used the TEEL paragraph structure to help me explain my thinking. The painting that I chose was "The veteran in a new field" I used bright colours for the clothes and sky to make it pop out.

 L.I to experiment with colours

 

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 liked doing this activity because you can personalize the paintings by adding colours of your choice. The painting that I customized was was "The Veteran in a new field" by Winslow Homer, this painting was created in 1865.

L.I to create art with room 1 and 2

This week it is Maori language week so we created art with the juniors. We helped the juniors create their art. First we helped them draw in chalk on black paper, after that we glued on top of the drawing with string. I liked doing this because we got to help the juniors.

Sunflower Paintings

LI: to paint a still life of sunflowers in the style of Vincent Van Gogh.

For Art we were painting sunflowers, in the style of Vincent Van Gogh. While painting we had to keep a lot of things in mind, to keep our paintings looking good. Our most important rule was to draw what we could see. Before actually painting we started practicing our toning, shading, and our brush strokes. We were also advised to blend our colors, stroke in one direction, don’t overload the brush with paint, and to make layers of paint to make a realistic looking sunflower.

Vincent Van Gogh Timeline

L.I to to create a timeline to show the life of Vincent Van Gogh

We created a padlet that explained the life of Vincent Van Gogh and his milestones in time order. Vincent Van Gogh was a post impressionist which meant he made paintings to capture a moment in time. Vincent Van Gogh used colours depending on his emotions, when he was moody he use dark colours and when he was happy he used bright colours.

Cityscape of New York

L.I to write a description of my cityscape using preposition

New York is one of the most popular cities in the world, did you know that New York was actually founded by the dutch. The city’s most recognizable landmark is the Statue of Liberty on the right of the cityscape, as strange as it may seem it was originally meant for the Suez canal in Egypt. This monument was gifted by the french for their independence and the reflection of their 100 year old friendship. The tallest building in New York is the one world trade center, it is the tallest building in the western hemisphere standing at 541 meters tall. The trade center is arguably the most prominent building in the cityscape of New York. For our background we chose from either cool colours or warm colours. I blended cool colours to create my background.

Art

L.I to think outside the box

For this challenge we were given a weird shape that we could make something out of. I drew a duck because the shape looked a duck's bill and some part of it's head. I liked doing this challenge because it required us to thin outside the box and I had fun drawing.
