Classroom Art Displays

Can Art

 One of our inquiry understanding was to apply our knowledge of properties of substances to the safe and appropriate use of these in everyday life. For one of our learning experiences we decided to re-use soda cans as canvases and create can art.

Clay Carving 

·       In term 3 one of our understanding was  to explore how the arts are used for different purposes in a variety of cultures and contexts. One of the many ways we did this was to create Maori cultural clay carvings.

Cultural Lines in the Sand

This term we have been creating different New Zealand cultural icons and symbols using different mediums such as painting, clay sculptures, digital art and sand drawings inspired by the work of Peter Donnelly which you will see in the video below.

Here is a video showing the hard work that went into creating these masterpieces.

Clay Carving

This term we have been learning about different New Zealand symbols and icons we created some of these by carving them out into clay.

Inkscape

This week we have been leaning about Inkscape. Inkscape is a free Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator and CorelDraw.

We started off by leaning about what Inkscape is, how to run it, and all the Inkscape essentials we needed to know to get started creating our own awesome artwork!

On the second day we learnt how to create shapes, paths and how to use the pen tool - which are the building blocks we'll need to create more complex drawings. Here are some of our masterpieces.
