Ashburton A&P Show

Mrs Watson knew the time had come for us to show off our art skills and entered every class member into the Ashburton A&P Show.  The theme for our art work was 'animal'.  

First we learned how to enlarge an image so it still appeared in correct proportion.  We did this by using a grid overlay and then drew each section by section onto another piece of paper with a larger grid underneath. Finally it was time to paint and develop skills such as brush stroke and almost dry paint to create realistic feathers or fur.

Here are some that placed at the show.  All images are displayed in our class and you are all welcome to come and view.

Fijian Language Week

We looked at traditional art from Fiji and found many similarities with Tonga, Samoa and Cook Islands.  Which made a lot of sense as the temperature of these countries is also similar so therefore similar animals, flowers and trees would be found in these countries.

After checking out a few images we created our own interpretations and here are images of our progress and some final images.
