We spent an idyllic afternoon at the Maitai River on our Suter Art Gallery trip on Wednesday, Using the "plein air" technique (creating artwork in the outdoors) we created landscape art of Our Place.
Esther taught us how to create depth in our artwork. Through a viewfinder we determined which part of the landscape we wanted to sketch and picked out the focal point (Bridge Street bridge). We followed the line of the horizon and the winding paths before using the edge of our pencils to create the shading. After adding details to our landscape we used water colours to emphasize the tone of the landscape.
Our impressive artwork will be displayed in class very soon. Thank you to all the mums who joined us. The children and I really appreciate your support.

Kia Ora! We are a group of wonderful Year 2 and Year 3 students and our teacher's name is Kathryn.
Yay! What a great day - so good to see all the parents and kids, and painting outdoors - what fun! Andrea (Bee's Mum) :)
ReplyDeleteVery dramatic ;-) It looks like you all had a great day. Can't wait to see the art work up in Room 9! Gerd (Roald's mor)
ReplyDeleteWow. Great video. Piper and I were waiting for the monster to spring up out of the Maitai and eat everybody - it sounded so scary. Fun drawing and painting too. Thanks, Esther and Kathryn.
