Summer Haiku, SLJ task (Activity 1: Kick start activity)

Activity 1 (kick start activity)

Task description: For my, Summer Haiku kick start task, I had to create a Summer Haiku, the haiku has three lines with a certain number of syllables that is very important for making a haiku, the first line of syllables in my haiku has five syllables, my second line has seven syllables and lastly my third line has five syllables, Creating this Haiku the theme was summer, and butterflies just reminded me of a normal sunny day, so that's where I have gotten my idea and inspiration for this Haiku.

Note: Activity 2: step it up task will be on a separate post.

Tanerore, Kowhaiwhai SLJ task

For my summer learning journey task today I had to create a drawing of a Kowhaiwhai pattern and use colors that remind me of Tanerore who is the son of Tama-Nui-te-ra in Maori and is a personification for shimmering air, the colors I used to color the background of the Kowhaiwhai is colors similar to orange because it reminds me of the shimmering sun which is what I am trying to represent in the Kowhaiwhai I have drawn, this task was very interesting and I enjoyed doing this task today.

Art Expo!

 Since the theme and korero for this term is Art Alive, we have been actually doing and looking at different types of art, this morning we had our schools Art Expo so all the art work we have done throughout this whole term was displayed in our classes for the school to see, Every piece of artwork we saw today was truley amazing and it was very entertaining walking through all the classes and looking at what they have done this term, since we are the oldest students and the intermediate block we had to look at all the juniors artworks and see what they have done this term.

The classes we have went in where from team 4 to 1 and all their art was very pleasing, In team 4 their art work were very cultural and looked like traditional polynesion patterns, then next where team 1, 2 and three their artworks were quite similar and all their art works where very colourful, lively and looked very fun.

My favourite part and highlight from the Art Expo was walking through my team the intermediate block because we had a lot of interesting art works with different styles and themes from every class and it was outstanding that each class had different focuses that were inspired by famous well known artist we have studied about this term in our inquiry classes and actually used their style of art to create are own.

Pastel Artwork

For my art project for the past few weeks I had to create a pastel drawing of anything I liked this task was based on a famous artists artworks we where inspired by this term (Edvard Munch) it was very fun and I enjoyed making and creating this pience of artwork.

My artwork is a landscape pastel drawing of a nature themed scene,My artwork is a drawing of a green field of flowers with a beach with big beach rocks on the left side of the drawing, a few mountains in the background and sunset without a sun.

For the field I used different types of green to give it a natural nature kind of look and pink flowers to make it pop from the green, the emotion that I tried to get from the colours I used for the field was a calm relaxed, lazy type of emotion.

For the beach part of the drawing I used different types of blues and added some other colours like green and a hint of purple to give it a anxious and sort of enraged emotion to it.

And lastly for the sky and mountains I have used a mixture of cool and warm bold colours to give it a dolefulness and gloomy emotion.
