My Special Place

My special place is in Rotorua because I like to spend time with my family. The reason why I picked Rotorua is because I thought that this would be the only place that I’d pick. The picture that I have is from the internet. I took a screenshot of it and sketched a picture of it.

My art is in the style of Van Gogh because I have used bright colours and some plain ones. My painting is about the hot mud pools in Rotorua and there is a Maori design in it.

Term 2Reflection

This term I have learnt a lot of things about art. My teacher has taught me a lot of things about Vincent Van gogh art. He has a lot of detail and he shows us a lot of colours. Also, Henri Matisse likes to show people a lot of colour.His style of art is Fauvism, which translates into Wild beast. He likes to sketch his artwork then outline it. After he finishes he paints over it with colours such as black, pink, yellow and blue.

Danielle Hulme likes to draw pasifika art work and likes to colour it with paint and likes to use a lot of patterns. She also likes to draw a lot of detail. She likes to add fruit and women with their hair out.

We have learnt a lot of styles of art and how to paint like an artist.

Halfway through the year we have almost finished our work and the holidays are coming up. We are going to put them up in the hall and are showing people how amazing our artwork is. We are are showing our visitors how and what we done with it. We had to write about who’s art we used and how we figured out how to use the technique.

Taonga time

On Fridays Miss Vaafusuaga had ask us to follow her to room 24 to write about our profile pictures when we want to write about ourselves and what we do for a living. During the writing we had to partner up with a person and write together. When we had to partner up we had to get a paper each about people who play Netball and Rugby. I choose Maria Taitua and we had to write about those people we had chosen.

During that time each person had to share their work with Miss Vaafusuaga. After we finished Miss Vaafusuaga would grab her laptop then we had follow her to the Netball courts. When we arrived we had to do the beb test which i thought was hard. When we arrived Miss Vaafusuaga was looking for the beb test so we could do it. A few minutes ago Miss Vaafusuaga told us to go back to class then after that Miss Vaafusuaga tola me to go and take the speaker back to Mr Jacobsen.  

Pablo Picasso and Daniella Hulme

Yet again our teacher has asked us about the differences between  Pablo Picasso and Daniella Hulme’s artwork. Daniela Hulme likes to draw a lot of Pacific Islander art and likes to draw a lot of patterns. Pablo likes to draw Cubist art work and likes to use a lot of dark and light colours.

Daniella Hulme and Pablo Picasso are  famous artists because they show a lot of talented style in their art  work.

In ‘the weeping woman’ it looked liked he sketched the picture then outlined it. Then he painted it and made it look like it was realistic.

In ‘a lazy day in paradise’ she must of started from the face or started from the couch, then she must of painted it after she had sketched it.

It shows us that they don’t use the same theme. And also he uses a different style. They have the same colour and different theme. The colours are yellow, black, orange, green, blue and that’s about it. There are also two ladies in the art works.

Although Daniella Hulme is not as famous as Picasso, she is still talented.

Van Gogh and Henri Matisse

We have been asked to compare the art of Van Gogh and Henri Matisse. Vincent Van Goghs style is dark colours and light colours. Henri Matisses style is about bright colours.  Van Gogh cut his ear off and sent it to his girlfriend.

In Sunflowers Vincent Van Gogh has used three or four colours. He used yellow, orange, red, green and brown.  The painting has lots of sunflowers. The main colours that he used was brown and yellow. I like this painting because he used a lot of detail in his painting.  Van Gogh liked to paint because he was talented at his work.

In La Musique, it is a painting of two women. One of the women is playing a guitar and the other woman is watching her. Matisse used yellow, orange, green, black, blue, and red. It looks simple because it isn’t really realistic.

Both the paintings are different. There’s different colours and different details. There are also petals in Van Goghs painting.There are also more details and different kind of techniques. Henri Matisse has more colour then Vincent Van Gogh. Yellow was used in both paintings. There is also some green and black in both.

Holiday Highlights

On Saturday the 14th of April my friends and I went to the Reece Mastin Concert. When we arrived we had to wait outside until 7:00 pm. By the time the security opened the doors
everyone was excited to see Reece Mastin. By the time we went in there was doors with numbers on them so they can show us where we could sit in.

When we went through  the door my number was 19. After we went through the door we had to find the seat that we had to sit on. By the time we found our seats we watched the crowd go crazy. When the Concert started there was a group called Young societies.

One of the songs they sang was I’m a single lady. When they finished their songs Reece Mastin came up next and sang one of his new ones. The next song he sang was I kissed a song from Katy Perry. In the beginning of the songs he was telling everyone what his band was called.

When we left we had to go out the exit door and walk to the train station on the way to the train station we had to wait for 2 minutes.
