My Wings

Every year we do Calendar art for the parents to buy. They can also buy diaries and cards. This year I did this. We could choose what sort of art to do, I choose to do wings art. For the wings art I had to decide and make a template of the wings, then make dabs of paint on one half then folded it in half. Then our teacher took our  photos of us individually and print them. Lastly we cut out the wings from the template, our self out and glue it all together. It was hard doing the painting because I couldn't get it even. Here is my calendar art for this year.

Pasifika Art

We have been making Pasifika art flowers. First we  draw a leaf and a design on the leaf then photocopy it. Next we dyed them. The maximum number of colours we used were three. Then you had to let them dry. Then cut them out. After that, we had to glue the leaves on a black piece of paper, making them curve,

Next, get a white A3 piece of paper and another black piece of paper, Cut lines in the white paper and cut out three long rectangles out of the black paper. Then weave them together. Next tape the black bit then cut any extra bits off.

Fold it to make a hollow cylinder with extra bits dangling from one end then sellotaping it along where it overlaps. Then curl the dangling bits with scissors. After that, sellotape it to the middle of the flower then it is done.  

I learnt how to make 3D Pasifika flower.                                                                                                          

2015 Calendar Art

Every year we do Calendar art for the parents to buy. They can also buy diaries and cards. This year I did this. We could choose to do two shapes there where hearts, flip flops, diamonds and your hands to do. I decided on and did my hands. We had to do patterns, but not too much. Here is mine.
