Exploring the Art Gallery

Today it was Room 15's turn to explore the Art Gallery.  The Pt England School Hall has been transformed, with lights and music adding to the ambience of our gallery.  We explored the gallery with our friends from Room 8.  We really enjoyed seeing our art displayed, sharing it with our buddy from Room 8 and seeing what they, and the rest of the school had presented.  Mr J did an amazing job in creating the gallery!  Check out a few images from our visit today:

Room 15 trip to Te Tuhi

Today Room 15 had a great time visiting Te Tuhi.  We completed a great piece of geometric art and also had time to explore the gallery.  Thanks to our great parent helps - we can't have trips without your support!  Here are a few photos from our trip, and the learners have shared more of these photos on their individual blogs.

Shades and Tones

Today in MakerSpace with Miss Sadler, Room 15 are learning about tones and shades.  Mrs Belt popped in and took some photos of the great learning that was going on.  She was most impressed at how the learners were mixing their tones and keeping their brush clean with just the minimum amount of water!

We are looking forward to putting these tones and shades to use again later this term for our artwork which will be displayed in the school wide art exhibition!

Magical Art Adventure

Today Team 3 joined together for a Magical Art Adventure with learners moving between teachers and experiencing different arty endeavours.

Those learners that came to Room 15 were creating with collage and together, brick by brick, we completed a house.  You can see our creation on the wall outside Room 15 or have a look at this slideshow.

Ask your tamariki which activities they did today?  There were eight different ones!

Amazing artists

Our school wide topic "As i see it" is well underway in Room 15.  Last week we split into two groups to work on different art activities.  The first activity used pastels to create a piece of artwork inspired by iLuminate - the wonderful dance group that performed at Pt England earlier in the week.  The second activity was a collaborative castle creating activity, asking learners to work in pairs or small groups to design their own castle.  We will continue this art this week and then Mrs Belt will display it in our classroom for whanau to check out!  Here are some photos from our first session (note - some learners are wearing art shirts as pastels on school uniforms is very hard to remove!)
