Art

 For around the past 4 weeks, we have been looking at Henri Rousseau and jungle print. We first looked at Henri Rousseau and his art. When we were looking at Henri Rousseau we got given one of his art and we had to cut it out. We cut it to measure the foreground, middle ground and background. Later on, we looked at jungle print. For jungle print, we had to go to the printer and make a jungle with the stuff we had. We had to do 3 prints. After we did that we had to trace it onto baking paper. We had to trace all three of the prints we did. After we did the trace the teacher printed it out. The teacher printed it out 2 times. The reason why she printed it out 2 times is so that one of them is full of colour and the other one is the same as when it came out of the printer. After we did that we have to do a blog. 

Sorry it is a bit blurry

Abstract Art

 For the past two weeks was have been doing abstract art. The task was that we had to make three art work using 3 elements from abstract art. There are six elements altogether. The six elements are form, texture, colour, line, shapes and tones. The three art work had to be made by a word. the three words were growth, love/compassion and fear. We had to use A3 paper for our first art work then we used A4 paper for the second task. After we finished that art work we had to do another one with warm and cool colours. I liked doing the second task because I liked doing the colours and adding the mountain on mine. It was hard for me to do the first one because I didn't know what to do for it and our teacher said not to sketch it. I am only showing you one of my works. Here is that work. 

Digital Black Out Poetry

 Today we tried something new on our Chromebook. Since we have been doing black out poetry art, the teacher is making us use a website she found. The website is called "Blackout Poetry Maker". Here is the link to the website. The website is cool to use and it will allow you to put your own story on there and make a black out poem. The website was easy to use and not very slow at all for me. The website has some stories for you to choose. The stories are Alice In Wonderland, Pride and Prejudice and lastly Heart of Darkness. I made 7 blackout poems on this website so I think you could make a lot as well. I perfer the physical poems but I also like Digital. Here is my poems

Black Out Art

Yesterday we started black out art. Black out art is new to some of us. I haven't don't black out art before but I was willing to give it a go. We had to pick a piece of news paper. We had to watch a video. The video was made by Austin Kleon. We had to use black pen, black felt, glue and scissors. First we talked about what is black out art. Second we had to watch the video. Third we got the newspaper and the supplies we needed and got started. I found it difficult to find words to make a poem/quote.  I found it fun to do something new and different. I cant give you a photo about what I did because my camera doesn't work.

Prespective Drawing

Yesterday we did perspective drawing. We made a road with trees on the side and mountains at the back. Perspective drawing is in your view and if when something is far away it is smaller and when it is close up it is bigger. I found it difficult to make the trees small and make the mountains. I think my final work is bad because I used colour but if I didn't put colours on. If I could remake it I would make the trees better and add colour on to it. Here is my drawing. 

Kāhui Art

Today in Wānanga we had to create a art piece of our kahui bird and it has to represent our school Hornby High. The hole year 7-9 could enter and one person from each year level could get a cafe voucher or Hud voucher. I did my art about Tīeke because its my Kāhui. The bird was standing on a branch and was holding the school logo in its mouth. I used a reference to make my art. Here is the reference I used.

Poetic Art - Hurumanu 4

For the past week we have been doing learning stories. What is a learning story? A learning story is a thing you do at school to reflect on your learning and so the teachers know that you have actually learnt something and not just sit there and pretend. We have been doing stuff about The Creation Of Tuna and The Taniwha And The Rakaia Gorge. We did a collage, diamante poem, haiku, watercolour and tapa cloth. We did the collage, watercolour and diamante poem/art about The Taniwha And The Rakaia Gorge. Please tell Me if there is something I could work on. Here is my learning story.

Poetic Arts

This past term we have been doing Poetic Arts and we have done lots of different type of art. The type of art and poems we had done are, haiku, diamante, weaving, tapa, collage and watercolour. My favourite part of art was when we did watercolour and weaving the most. My favourite part of the Art display is the poems and weaving because the poems were really nice and got good wow words, the weaving was really cool and it was easy and very pretty.  The haiku was really challenging because I didn't know what to write it about and what wow words to put on it. My favourite style of poetry to write in this hurumanu was diamante poem. I thought this hurumanu was really cool because it was different from the rest of them. here is my Art display.

Watercolour Art

Last week we had to do watercolour. We got given a piece of paper and it had 4 corners. On the first corner it said blend. On the second corner it said salt. On the third corner it said drip. On the last corner it said splat. The colours I used were blue and red, warm and cool. The blue turned to purple and the red turned into a pink but it also stayed the same. Here is my watercolour art.

Diamante Poem

Last week we had to create a poem. The poem we made is called "Diamante". Diamante poem is a poem that has 7 lines and it is shaped as a diamond. In line 1 we had put the starting subject. In line 2 had to put 2 words describing line 1. In line 3 we had to put 3 doing words (ing). In line 4 a short phrase about line 1 and 7. In line 5 we had to put 3 doing words about line 7. In line 6 we had to put 2 describing words about line 7. In line 7 we had to put the ending subject .We had to create the poem about a book. The book was called "The Taniwha of the Rakaia gorge". We had to thing about 2 things from the story and we had to write the poem about them. Here is my poem.

Tapa Cloth Inking

Last week we had to put ink on our tapa cloth. I thought it would be hard to put the ink on it and there would be more instructions but there wasn't. The materials we used were white ink, brown ink, newspaper and water. First we had to put the newspaper on the table. second the teacher gave us ink and water and she told us how to do it. last we put the ink and water on the paper.A tapa cloth is a thing made in the Pacific Ocean and it is originally made out of bark and trees. Normally people do 6 - 8 boxes if they are on paper but if they are on a cloth you can make as much as you want as long as it fits on the cloth.The word tapa is from Tahiti. It doesn't look different yet but it will when it drys. We had to create a haiku. Here is my haiku and tapa.

Haiku

Ink, water paper, chalk, water, charcoal,

Tapa Cloth Art - Tuna o Runga i te Rangi

Last week we had read a book called "The creation of Tuna" Tuna o Runga i te Rangi is the name of the Tuna. We had to create a haiku and a tapa cloth about the book. The materials we used were black, light brown paper and white, brown chalk. A tapa cloth is a thing made in the Pacific Ocean and it is originally made out of bark and trees. Normally people do 6 - 8 boxes if they are on paper but if they are on a cloth you can make as much as you want as long as it fits on the cloth. We have to use 2D shapes not 3D. The symbols I used were the sun, lake, trees, heaven, vine and the Tuna that was cut into pieces. The word tapa is from Tahiti. It was hard to create my haiku because my tapa cloth was not with me and couldn't find words about it. Here are my haiku and tapa cloth. If I did this again I would of tried to do my drawings better and make it have more sense.

Haiku

Black and White colour

The symbols are simple

Contrast colours

The Creation Of Tuna

Today we have to reread "The creation of Tuna". We have to make a haiku about it. I am choosing to do it about the water and how fast it is. I did it on canva so its easier and pretty. Here is my haiku.
