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!

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)
