      Mythical Creature Assessment Assignment

      This unit of work requires students to work independently to research, plan and create a sculpture using the  paper mache process.  The focus on this assessment is how your research, planning and making resemble the initial idea.  There must be supporting evidence in your Visual Art Diary to support your completed sculpture.

    Kia Ora Everyone


    While we all stay at home keeping safe and looking out for each other in our family, you may have the opportunity to organise some fun time for the rest of the family.  Get them involved in drawing shoes! This could even perhaps count as being evidence for your holistic report perhaps under  ‘Compassion - awhinatanga’ where you are setting up opportunities to help and support your family by doing some fun activities (take a photo of everyone drawing to support your intent)


    Plan and do





    Go and find five different shoes that your family wears and set them up as a display in the lounge or dining room as a still life.  

    • Make it a fun time and invite the rest of the family to have some downtime with you while you practise your drawing skills. 

    • You become the teacher and tell them that you are looking for them to focus on the outline shape being accurate and the proportion of the shoe pieces being correct.  As an ‘extra for experts’… they can then practise shading in the shoe to show the shadows and highlights

    • You could make it a family competition and become the judge.

    • You could have a shoe of the day set up or arrange a group of shoes and have them there for the week. 

    •  Each night for twenty minutes you could invite the family to join you while you practise drawing them.  

    • Experiment using pens, pencils and other drawing mediums to compare your outcomes


    You can use the pages in your Visual Art diary for drawing and when we get back to school, I’ll photocopy your work and we can add it to your shoe composition.  That way, the drawings that you do will be meaningful and count towards your final assessment.


    I’ll post my display of shoes and my husband’s attempts on your  MHJC pages at the beginning of Week 5.

      Hi Everyone

      Hope you are all getting yourselves into a good routine of learning time at home.  Please allow at least one hour over the week to spend on your shoe drawings.  Follow the lesson last week to create a time lapse drawing or use the link today that I'll add below to have a go at creating a digital drawing.  You may also work on any sort of paper, as long as I can see the tones and details in your drawings.


      The above is the designer shoe drawing link I showed you parts of in our gmeet.

      Next week when we have a get together I expect everyone to share a shoe drawing that you have attempted.
