Art Attack



Today we started on an Agricultural Day Art Project.  We decided that some spring flowers are beautiful, like daffodils.  But native NZ flowers have that special edge.  So, we have decided to study them closely.

We started by looking at huge colour pictures of Hebes, Kowhai, Harekeke and Pohutakawa on the IWB.  Then with Miss Hammond's help we drew our own versions.

We learnt that you actually need to look at the flower and draw what you see, not what you think you see.  Sometimes the more you look the more details you see and the better your picture gets.

We also learnt that you start with the big shapes and then focus on the little details.

Check back here soon to see our artwork as it progresses.
