I Am Learning To Create A Self Portrait

I drew my self portrait using a sketching pencil.

I needed to think about size, shape and position of body parts

I coloured my self portrait using pastels.

I needed to think about using colours effectively by blending different pastel colours

I coloured my background using pastels.

I needed to think about using warm and cool colours for effect

My Reflection
I found this hard because the I part was very tricky
my next steps making my eyes look better and working on my eye bowls.

My Refliction 

I am learning to do a self potret. I found this triky because I could't  do the eyes and mouth.My next step is to do better on my nose.

Year 1, Room 1.

It is nearly the end of Year 1.  I like learning in Room 1 and I have made some new friends.  We make cool stuff in Room 1. I especially like my Christmas tree made with ice block sticks, and tinsel, and cardboard, and pom poms.

Tapa Design for the Art Exhibition

Whole Class Reflection – Art

Learning: “I learnt how to draw patterns.”   “I learnt to not put too much dye on the cotton bud.”.  “I learnt about tapa from Samoa, Tonga and the Cook Islands.”

Tricky: “Drawing some patterns was tricky.”  “The dying – had to be very careful.” “Keeping the vivid on the pencil lines.”

Proud: “The dye looked beautiful and I was proud of that.”   “I was proud of my patterns.”

Help: “I needed help to dye some parts of the panels, drawing over the pencil lines with vivid, putting the right cotton bud in the right container, knowing about different patterns.”

Next: “I want to learn more patterns.”   “I want to know more about the Cook Islands, Tonga and tapa.”  “I want to use vivids more in the classroom.”  “I want to learn more about drawing.”

I learnt to not put too much dye on the cotton bud. I was able to be very careful. I found this easy because we got to go what ever we want.

Lots of fun playing Kiwiball

"I can catch the ball in the baseball mit."

Building with Bunnings

"I love this photo, it is so cute.  I made a truck, and I glued it, and painted it.  I took it home and my mum said "WOW, it is so amazing and beautiful".
