'Cloud Art'

Our students watched a video with Matua Mel as motivation to create their cloud art.

 They explored with different techniques and mediums...

A fun day of Music and Art

What a day of learning our students had with Matua Mel, our 'The Arts' specialist teacher!

In music the class created sound scape of 'The Storm' using loud and soft. They chose different instruments to represent different aspects of a storm...

They then used mixed media to create a picture of their houses in a storm and added some words that we hear in a storm...

Thank you Halei for taking all the pictures and videos for me!

Bowl Sculptures

Room 4 created bowls with Mrs Fitzgerald in our Art session. They were based on the 'hand-blown glass sculptures' by the American artist Dale Chihuly. 

Honey Combs Art

Our students made honey combs (the background) using bubble wrap, yellow paint and rollers. They then did finger painting and used black vivid to create a colony of bees.
