Matariki Star

We have been painting a Matariki star.  She is the mother of the six sisters in a Maori myth about star patterns.  We searched the image from the web and transferred it to the star.  We were asked to paint it for the Matariki Festival.  We painted it with acrylic paint.  We needed to be very careful.  This is the star painted by the senior students in Piwakawaka and Kereru.

Matariki Art

We have been making Matariki Art.  I am going to tell you how to make our art.

You Are Going To Need:

• 2 Newsprint's
• A Pencil
• Scissors
• An Image Of A Mountain Range
• A4 Black Paper
• Pastel Chalk
• Stick on Stars
• HairSpray
• White Mounting Paper
• A Glue Stick

First get the newsprint, the pencil and the image of a mountain range.  Copy the mountain range with the pencil on the newsprint.  Get the scissors and cut along the line you just drew.  Then get the other newsprint and put it under the other piece of newsprint.  Scrape the pastel chalk up on the edge of the mountains and then get all the other pastel chalk and scrape them up too.  After you have done that use your finger and push your pastel chalk up.  Next get the newsprint that you cut and put it on the piece of A4 black paper.  Then get the pastel chalk and do what you just did with the other piece of newsprint.  Next take the newsprint off the black piece of paper so that it looks like the mountains are in the shade.  Then put stickers that are shaped like stars on the picture in the sky where Matariki would be.  After you have done that you need to get the hairspray and hairspray the place where you put on the pastel chalk so that it won't be sticky.  Lastly get the glue stick and put it on the back of the picture and then stick it on to the white mounting paper.  

My Self Portrait

 Today I made a self portrait of my self.  First I toke a photo of  my self then I used polyline and traced around my face.  I did it around my eyes, my mouth and my nose.  After I had done that I turned my face, eyes, mouth and nose into different colour then Mrs Hickford printed out my self portrait.  We did it because we had made waka and had to stick our face onto the waka.      

Onomatopoeia Art

This is my onomatopoeia art.  First I had to cut out our letters then I cut the news paper.  I cut the news paper into a explosion.  After that I cut out little explosions with coloured paper.  I had to pant the out side of the big explosion.  I panted it red then I glued the letters on to my big explosion.  We had to do this because we were learning about onomatopoeia.      

 

My Art

I used all of the colours that were there.There was blue, green, orange, yellow and red. We used dye.  I used a paint brush to put the dye on my art. I felt happy because I had finished and it looked good.
