Tracey Tawhiao Art Work

This week we have been doing our Tracey Tawhiao art work.

I enjoyed painting and combinding colours.

I found it challenging to do the small designs because the pastel was too big.

My learning object shows that I can present my culture in art form.

Firstly we had to pick out a newspaper that had words that meant something to us.

Then we had to paint around the words we wanted to keep.

After that we put patterns of our culture. My culture is Maori.

Did you know  she is a writer, poet, filmmaker, qualified lawyer and a practising artist.

The Oil Spill

This week we have been reading about an oil spill in New Zealand.

I enjoyed doing the screencastify because it felf like I was in a real news report.

I found it challenging to make my voice loud so that the computer would hear me. It was really windy today.

My learning object shows that I can do a screencastify and a pretend news report.

I did the screencastify with two of my friends. The middle one was the news reporter and the one beside her was the cleaner with me and we had to answer qustions that the news reporter was asking us.

Here is the screencastify.

Bird Feeders

This week we have been making our bird feeders.

I enjoyed doing the waterfall because I was trying something different and I never paint waterfalls so it was a new experience for me.

I found it challenging to do the light direction on the waterfall.

My learning object shows that I can paint different things when I give it a try.

My friend's dad helped us to make the bird feeder.

We made it out of nails, screws, scrap wood and recycled metal.

My friend helped me paint my side. He did the sky and the tree and I did the waterfall the rock and the river.
