Onomatopoeia

 We have been discussing onomatopoeia in Kōtuku, as well as primary art colours. We came up with some fabulous artwork!

Athletics Day 2022

 We had a fabulous time practicing for Athletics Day. Unfortunately, the weather had other ideas, so we missed out this year.

Zentangle

 Kōtuku have been learning about spatial awareness in art. We want to make sure we use the whole space for our art works, and also use the space to make our art stand out. As part of learning this, we have been looking at zentangle art, and created the following pieces...

Emotional Bush Walks!

We go for bush walks most Monday mornings. Last week, we went across the swing bridge to the beach. Today, we imagined we were each feeling different emotions, and we wrote about our bush walks with those emotions in mind. Can you guess what emotion each writer was thinking of through their writing? The colours and fonts they chose might also give you clues...

Andy Warhol Art

 Last week we learnt about Pop art and Andy Warhol. 

First of all we cut up different papers to use in our pop art. We then chose a picture of our choice for our creation. We drew the outline of our picture on a laminated sheet and then stuck the pieces of paper on. This created our pop art picture. Once that was finished, we put our creations through the laminator. They are now ready for display.
