Facial Expressions

Our very last Art piece for term three focussed on facial expressions.  We studied cartoon-like expressions from the internet and then replicated them on four figures.  We were able to choose to colour with pastel or paint or a combination of the two.

Availll

We are lucky enough to be taking part in a reading programme that actually involves us watching movies for most of the term.  Availll is based on Reading and Watching movies and making links back to the novels they were actually based on.

One of the movies we have seen is The Wizard of Oz and the task involved us searching for the book online, reading a chapter of it and identifying 10 things that are in the book but never made it to the movie or were altered in the movie.

Here we are busy reading the novel online.





Skate Boards: Round 2

Here are some more of our finished pieces........















Distorted Kiwiana

Every year our teacher, Mrs Young, sets us a Kiwiana Art piece to complete.  This year we identified items, images or people that are truly 'Kiwi' and cut them into pieces.  After re-gluing them in a random way on backing paper, we traced the outlines and then painted both the images and the background.

Here are the first batch to share!  Can you recognise the original image???
