Hi,

On Friday 5th August 10 students accompanied Miss Best to the tile art unveiling at Hunters Plaza.
Go along to Hunters Plaza to see the real art.  It is along the hallway where the bathrooms are.  Check it out.  Here are some photos of our work.  Our tiles represent our community!

Year 3 and 4 Artists

During term 2 it was Years 3 and 4's turn to take part in the Art option programme.
We worked on drawing an eye and showing what it was looking at. We used pastel to colour these and beads to add a little extra to our work.  Check out our talented artists.

We made the local Newspaper

Check it out.  Some of the Tile Art kids are in the local Manukau newspaper.  Do you know any of them?

Art Day...

We are so lucky at PCS. Some students from Year 3-6 were able to take part in an Art day. We had 6 Year 11 students from Botany Downs Secondary College come to work with us accompanied by Miss Bests Art teacher friend Miss Cunningham. They taught us how to create a Tivaevae mat. It was so much fun. The Botany students were fantastic and so were we! Check us out. Art Day on PhotoPeach

WOW - check this out

One of our very own clever students in Year 2 has been practising art at home.
Bhunil from Room 7 watched the cartoon clips and drew them.

They look fantasic! Thanks for sharing your art with us.

Welcome to Term 2

Welcome back to term 2.  I hope you have been practising some art at home.

Have you ever wondered how do you draw a cartoon character well here is some youtube clips to help you.  Grab a pen and piece of paper.  Are you ready?

Term 1: Year 5 and 6 Art Group

This term some of our keen Year 5 and 6 Art students have been working hard throughout the term creating some masterpieces as part of the art option group.

We created this art work using texture paste which is like a very thick sticky paint.  We applied this thickly then used some tools to create patterns.  Once this had dried then we mixed the prime colours (red, green, blue) and painted over the top.  To make it look super glossy Miss Best sprayed these with a gloss spray.

Check us out. What a creative lot!

Holiday Fun...

Here are some fun art ideas to try in the holidays.  Your fingers and hands are just as good as a paintbrush.  Use them to create some masterpieces using paint.  Check out the video for ideas.

ANZAC ART

ANZAC day is a very important day to NZ and Australia.  It is a chance to celebrate and show our appreciation for the soldiers who fought in the war and some who lost their lives to make our country a great place to live.

We wear poppies to remember the soldiers each year around ANZAC day.  You may like to create some art to show your appreciation for the soldiers.

A real Poppy

What we wear on ANZAC day.

Pastel Art - Use a pencil to lightly draw a poppy and colour with pastel.

Collaging - Draw a picture of a poppy.  Rip up pieces of paper (red/green) and glue on to create the poppy look.

Paint and Crayon - Paint poppies on to paper.  Then use crayons to create the grass (variety of green crayons)

Easter Art Ideas...

Here are some fun and easy Eater art ideas to try at home over the long weekend.

EASTER BUNNIES

Get a paper plate and decorate this to look like an Easter bunny.

Add some ears with paper and some whiskers.  You can be as creative as you like.  The $2 shop has pom poms and googly eyes to stick on too.

CRAYON EGGS

Colour a piece of paper with crayon - colour extra hard.  It is best to make a Rainbow of colours.

Then paint over the top with black paint and scratch this off making patterns.  

EGG ART

Drain some normal eggs (ask your parents first) and decorate with paint or vivid felts.

STAIN GLASS

Get some paper (black looks good) cut out some shapes and glue coloured cellophane across the cut out panels and stick it in your window.  Your very own Stain Glass Easter Egg.

EASTER EGG DECORATIONS

This activity is a  little tricky.  Blow up a small balloon.  Cover in lots and lots of PVA glue and wrap string around this.  Once it is dry then pop the balloon and there you have your very own Easter Egg decorations.

Before                                                                           After

MARBLING - using shaivng cream

 In a container or tray squirt come shaving cream.  Then add some drops of food colouring or dye and using a skewer mix the colour together.  Then place a clean piece of paper/egg you cut out on to the shaving cream - scrape off the shaving cream and the dye pattern should be left on top.

Prime Colours

The Prime colours are Red, Blue and Yellow.

When these are mixed together they make new colours these are called the secondary colours.
