Week seven has seen Room 4 tackle art head on. The week started with Mrs Ford kindly coming into the classroom to demonstrate and teach the students techniques on how to work with pastels. The students practised their blending techniques on a Monarch butterfly outline. On Tuesday each student was given an A4 piece of paper and a piece of an artwork, which had been cut into 25 rectangular puzzle pieces. The aim was to use the pastels to recreate the colours of their piece of the puzzle onto the larger A4 piece of paper. On Wednesday when everyone had finished we put the pieces of the puzzle together to create our very own piece of artwork inspired by Warren Pohatu’s “Te Kaka-o-nga-Whatukura (2002″). The result was an outstanding success. A huge thank you to Dominique Ford, Heather Gasteen and Jo Gasteen for their help with our artwork which will be on display at the Omokoroa Art Exhibition this Friday 16 September.
