Before completing our final art slice product, Crew Hamill developed their collage skills further by creating a draft of our final product. We concentrated on our cutting skills, ensuring we were accurately cutting the shapes we needed to create our vase, the leaves and our flowers. We then used the collage skills from our previous lesson to layer our shapes together to create a vase full of beautiful flowers.
Crew Hamill continued their art slice by focusing on the skills needed to be able to complete their own collage. We focused on selecting different sections of colour within our magazines and then cut these coloured sections into small squares and rectangles. We then collaged these together and filled out squares. We cannot wait to use this technique on our final product!
Following on from learning about a new artist, we had an opportunity to practice some collaging using paper from old magazines. We discussed the important of cutting different shapes, overlapping and ensuring we filled in the blank spaces.
On Friday Crew MI thought about Easter and what it means to Christians and what it means to us personally. We created an anchor chart all about Easter then put our ideas into a whole crew acrostic poem. We then created our own poems to go inside our Easter cards that we have created during our latest art slice 🙂 We are looking forward to taking these home and sharing with our families.
Today, Crew Hamill began their next art slice by looking at our new focus artist – Jessa Dupuis. Before we were given any information on our artist, we were shown some of her art work that we critiqued using our critique norms – be kind, be specific and be helpful. We loved looking at her work and found it unique compared to some of the other art work we have studied this year. We loved the use of colour and loved how the images appeared to layer on top of each other. Once we’d finished our critique, we looked through information on Jessa Dupuis to find out more about the inspiration behind her art. We loved that she was inspired by the weird and wonderful! We cannot wait to use her collage technique to begin our own piece of collage work.
This week we have started our art slice where we will be learning the skills of collage. To start with we have learned about a new artist Jessa Dupuis who is known for her collage work. In addition, we did a quick recap about Waltraud Nawratil who we studied for our painting art slice.
This week we have been learning about Spring. We have been reading The Hungry Caterpillar 🐛 We have practised sequencing the story in our small groups, and made some lovely butterfly pictures!
Our mosaic art pieces are really coming together 🙂
Today we started sketching out and creating our final draft for our mosaic. We are really enjoying creating our Easter cards 🙂 In maths we have been looking at lines of symmetry and symmetrical patterns and we are trying to apply our learning to our butterflies wings.
Firstly we recapped the techniques needed for mosaic art then we looked at and explored some of the images we will use as a stimulus for our own mosaic art pieces. We thought about which parts we needed to practise, which parts may be difficult to create and which equipment we may use. After modelling from the teacher on the different parts we started to apply to our practise paper. We then took part in a gallery walk thinking about what we could see, how other people’s work compares to our own, then we paired up with another crew member and offered some critique. Our exit ticket allowed us to think about what we would do differently next time when we complete the process again.
