Cultural Art - Expressing 'Who We Are'!

Here are some examples of the Visual Art activities we have done with Ms Osborne in Term 1, 2015.

Early in Term 1, our Year 5-6 class created portraits in a 'Pop Art' style by taking photos and then using the data projector to trace an outline (with a lot of help from the teacher). 

Next, we used a mixture of crayons and pastels to create bright, bold images that reflected both WHO WE ARE and the comicbook-like style of 'Pop Art'.

These were then put on display as a collaborative collage, to give it that Andy Warhol-esque finish, and *wow* the visitors to our learning hub!

We also did some individual Pasifika 'flower' designs, modelled by Ms Osborne and completed using water colour paint and pencils, to later be uses as borders for our wall displays and to add some culluturally appropriate imagery to our learning hub space... 

Don't they look welcoming? We think so, too! :-)
