ART WORK

Hey blogging world, James here. last week we started a art piece of NZ birds. The materials that we used was High School paint not primary school paints because we want our art to be cool for our art show and the other material was the Water strength Cartridge paper. Another material that we used was Chromacryl students acryling. Here are the instructions on how to make the art work.

How the process goes
Step 1) We had to choose a NZ bird to draw onto the the paper.
Step 2) Then we drew it onto the paper but we had to draw it big, "I'm not used to drawing big".
Step 3) After that, we had to draw the habitat of the bird that we choose.
Step 4)  Next you choose the colour of the background , because it will be easier to paint.
Step 5) Then go and choose the colours that you want to use for your bird and background.
Step 6) Next you paint the background what ever colour you choose
Step 7) After you do that you will have to let it dry so you can do another coat to make it stand out.
Step 8) Then paint your bird with the paints.

And that's how you make the Art work for your guys art show, But you will have to do all that with an adult , because you might get silly with the paint.

The thing that I liked about my work is the drawing, because I love drawing at school and home and, because the teachers that I've been with are artist and they inspired me to be a better drawer. The thing that I don't like is the painting of my fantail because I made the eye to big and may have put to much black paint on the face of the fantail. Something that I can improve is taking my time on my piece of art so it can look very nice for our art show. What I would like to change is the NZ birds because I wanted to do a NZ hawk but then it was to difficult to draw on a big piece of paper. Something that I would do next time is put more colour into my birds like the feathers and make my background better than before.

My buddy's opinion about my art piece.)
He liked the way that my background was blended from dark to light. My friend said that he did not like the big feet of the Pukeko.  Richard said I can improve by adding more detail to my birds flying or sitting on the branch. He said to change the feet and make it a little smaller. My buddy said that next time I could make my painting colourful. 

If you are interested in art maybe you could come to Waikowhai Primary School and see all the art work that Waikowhai made in their class rooms. It will be On Tuesday the 26th of June is the opening.  

                                                                  

I think that I did really well with the construction because I was involved in nearly everything. I liked stapling the wood together for the walls. BLOG YOU LATER.
