Calendar Art Inspired by Shaun Tan
It is calendar time again! This is a great fundraiser for the school. We have blogged them so you can see for yourself what the calendar will look like before you buy it.
For our calendars this year we chose to use some recycled materials. Many of the artworks you see here have a message.
For our artwork we used an illustration from The Red Tree by Shaun Tan as our inspiration.
We looked closely at the illustration. We spoke about the main shapes that we could see and the colours that were used. We also looked at how the layering effect was created and what messages were being given.
As a class we wrote a brief procedure on how to complete the work. We had to make sure we started from the background and worked our way up.
We dyed newspaper, cut out old pictures from dictionaries, magazines and junk mail.
This took us a long time but the art we have completed is amazing.
Come up to our class and have a closer look if you like.

Portraits
On the 28th of May Lindsay Mitchell came into room 14 and did some pastel portraits!
She talked about how to get the right shape for the face and how to use green to create turns on the face. She showed us a finished pastel drawing of a girl then we started to draw her. Lindsay told us lots of different ways to make her look real. It was really fun.

Fabulous Faces
In Room 14 we have been implementing ICT into our ART. We have learned how to take photos using the digital camera. We know how to take long shots, close ups and mid shots.
At camp we took lots of photos!
Using some of the photos taken in class and on camp we are working towards doing a pencil drawing of one of them.
There has been a lot of discussion about tone! In class we did a fun exercise involving our photos, crayons and dye. When the photos were printed in black and white it was easier to see the different tones. We then applied different tones of crayon to the light and dark areas. Afterwards we applied dye.
