CALENDAR ART

We were super busy in the last two weeks of school, getting our calendar art done.  Here are a few photos of our calendar pictures...

ROCK PICUTRES

What a busy day we had today.  Not only was it Wig Wednesday and Grandparents' Day ... we had Isalei's mum and Nanny come in and help us make some rock art!

We had to put little pebbles on our boards to make them into pictures.  Every single one was different and unique.

We can't wait to show them to you at the expo!

ART EXPO - EXPLORE

                

We have been SOOOOO bust getting ready for the Art Expo.  We have learnt so many new techniques and have had lots of experience with different forms of art from abstract to pointillism.  We can't wait to show you all our hard work. 


                       

The Art Expo is next Thursday from 4.30pm until 6pm.  Our art will be on display in the Rainbow Room.  We hope you can come!

OUR NEW MURAL

Over the last few weeks, you may have seen our new mural taking shape.  

It has been fascinating for the kids to watch it develop into the AMAZING work of art that it is!  

We have two more murals commissioned to be done at school over the next few weeks.  

There will be a takahe and a kakapo coming soon.

So exciting!

INQUIRY - ART EXHIBITION

On Tuesday we got a letter from Mrs Peck.  She has noticed all our beautiful art hanging in our classroom.  She would like us to put on an Art Exhibition later this term.  She made us a deal that she would write the invitations if we make the art. 

We said we would LOVE to!  We were HOOKED!

First we needed to take some time to WONDER about all the things that we need to do to be able to put on the exhibition.

We went into our Whanau groups and recorded all our thoughts and ideas.  Then we came back together to share our thinking.

Over the next few weeks, we will be learning different art techniques and making some amazing pieces of art.

FRIDAY'S OPT-INS

We were SOOOO busy on Friday.

Mrs Ruawai made Chocolate Chip muffins with us and Mrs Lunn took us for Art.  Miss Smith was busy with the Enviroclub too.

The Coffee Cats art got hung up today.  Feel free to pop in and have a look.

For Art, Mrs Lunn helped us make our Field of Poppies artwork.  They look beautiful...

        

                                                               

ART OPT-INS

It was a hive of activity in Wonderland on Friday.  There were kids busy finishing pieces of Art they have been working on over the last few weeks.

Look at these CREATIVE artists in action...

Hungry Hedgehogs using vivid, dye and water paints

Seahorses using vivid, dye and pastel

Children were also working on making their Bubbly Hydrangeas artwork.  We put dye and water and some dishwashing liquid in the sink.  Then we had to blow bubbles in the dye and carefully lie the paper on top of the bubbles to make the hydrangea print.  Once the red was dry, we did the same with purple dye.  When the dye dries we will glue leaves onto our pictures.

 Stay turned for our finished art up on display in the classroom...

FRIDAY'S ART OPT-IN

We love the different opt ins on offer on Fridays.  This week Mrs Lunn took the kids who wanted to learn how to use vivid and dye to draw a pirate ship.  The kids listened carefully to the instructions and each created nothing short of a masterpiece!
