Art with Year 5s by Nakayla and Sarah

Year 5 Art

While the Year 6s are practicing there social  dance the year 5's have been doing art.
We are looking at a New Zealand artist called Randal Leach. He is a  famous artist. He put lots of detail into his art such as kowhaiwhai and koru patterns.We have been practicing to draw our own kowhaiwhai and koru patterns. We also have been reading some Maori legends from our library corner to figure out some more patterns we can use.The first drawing we have done is something that we chose to draw such as a koru pattern love heart The second picture we drew had to be a scene with land, water, sky and the sun and we tried to include some patterns  / designs  that tie in with nature.

Keep looking at our blog for progress with our artwork.
