                        Calendar Art!!!!!

 In room 12 we did handprint and footprint calendar art.

1. Firstly, you had to choose a picture from the internet (That’s footprint and handprint art)

2. Secondly, we had to plan it on a piece of paper and trace around your hand NOT painting it.

3. Then we would show Mrs Miller if we were finished, she was looking for detail and really good ideas, and if she says yes  then you could go and get your good copy.

4. On your  good copy if you wanted flakes you draw them in white pastel first.

5. Straight after that you would dye the background and wait for a day

6. After the day has been, you would paint your hand or foot and put your hand/foot on the paper then you would have a hand/foot print.

7. Then you wait for a day again, then put your decorations.

8. Then you would be finished

The challenge was getting the whole thing perfect and NOT mucking up our calendar art.

Once I was finished my Artwork I was amazed and Happy :)

Here is a photo of my art :)

Origami - Week 8 Term 3

On Sunday the 13th of September I did some Origami, I did some Origami Bunnies and Corner book marks and a Heart.   To be honest it is trickier than you think because if you get the folding wrong your origami is wrong (like completely). The Origami bunnies were sort of weird because some folding bits were in places that you don't think that it would be. I thought that I was finished the bunny but then it kept on talking and I was like what, what is going to happen now. The corner book marks are really fun to make because at the end you get to decorate them and put googly eyes on the book mark and other stuff like that.

Here are some photos

Driftwood Art - Week 7 Term 3

Driftwood Art!!!

One day my class did some driftwood art.  Driftwood art is when you get like 5 or 10 pieces and make a word or a little picture.  Anyway we did some driftwood art one day, on Wednesday the 9th of September we hot glued if our art work was broken and tied string on it ready for the art exhibition.  

Jack Marsden Mayer

If you're wondering who Jack Marsden Mayer is, he is who we got the ideas from about driftwood. I'm going to tell you who Jack is... Jack has been working with driftwood since he arrived in New Zealand (that was in 2008).  Jack was born in Manchester in England. 
Here are some photos of Jack Marsden Mayer work. 

Here is a photo of me with my art!

Guess what my word says...
