    Kia Ora everyone,

    Welcome to Art 2024. 

    The context for your start to the year in Water whānau is all about 'Safety in New Zealand and beyond'. We will be creating an Andy Warhol inspired Pop Art painting, using personalised hazard symbols.

    I am looking forward to exploring the exciting world of Art with you all this year. 

    Mrs Lee.


  • Term 1 / Week 2 + 3

    Hi everyone! 
    In Weeks 2 and 3, we will be working on designing our Visual Art cover pages.
     
                               


  • Term 1/ Week 4 + 5


    Hi everyone,

    From Week 4, I will introduce a new task which ties in with Water Whānau context: Safety in NZ and beyond. We will be looking into a range different safety signs which will lead us into creating our own version, in the style of POP ART. We will be referencing artist models Roy Lichenstein and Andy Warhol's characteristics into our own safety sign painting.


  • Term 1/ Week 6

    Hi everyone!

    From this week, we will begin painting our POP ART designs.



  • Term 1/ Week 7-10


    We will continue painting our sections. Every session we are painting, out focus is to:

    1) Paint thin layers at a time with precision, this means taking your time and holding the brush close to the bristles as possible. There are many students who are holding their brush towards the end of the brush, which results in loss of steady control.

    2) Remember, always begin painting the lightest coloured paint and work your way to the darkest! If you paint over the line using light coloured paint, you can always go over the light colour using a darker colour. However, once you apply a dark colour over where you light colour should be, this will not be fixable.


  • Term 2/ Week 1 +2

    Kia Ora Maunga students,

    Welcome to Art- Term 2. 

    Based on the context for Maunga whānau for the Year 8 students in Term 2, in Visual Art we will be looking into the OLYMPICS.

    We are going to produce a Mixed media artwork of an A3 Olympic torch. This project will require the use of various dry and wet media to create a personalised Olympics torch design. Students will incorporate patterns, symbols, and imagery that serve as a visual representation of the students' identities.




  • Term 2/ Week 3

    Hello Year 8 Art students! :)

    Welcome to Week 3. This week, we will focus on completing our A4 torch template and aim to complete transferring our final concept design onto our final A3 paper, using pencil.
