Up, up and away!

Art with a difference today! Taking a scenic flight over the Bucket Tree!!

We have a lovely park in Tawa called Willowbank Park. It has a tree that is clipped in the shape of an upside down bucket - hence the name "Bucket Tree". It has been that way for over 150 years! The tree was planted by European settlers when they had a farm here.

Drawing Clouds

What a beautiful afternoon to draw clouds! Just wish they would stay still!

Flower Art

First we painted a whole pile of patterns on paper with a dry paint brush. Then we cut out the flower petals, stalks and a vase. We stuck these on to a dyed background. For the centre of each flower we coloured in a circle of coffee filter paper with washable felt pen and wet it. (A bit like with our Chromatography experiment)

More Leaf Prints

We have been trying our hand at printing leaves with ink and rollers- have a look at the results.

Leaf Prints

We had a fun time today with using the ink rollers for the first time. We tried our hand at leaf prints. We had to roll some ink onto a piece of perspex to cover our rollers then we rolled the ink over the back of a leaf. We then placed the leaf on to a piece of paper, put another sheet of paper over the top, and then rolled a clean roller over the top - making the ink transfer from the leaf to the paper.
Next step- trying more different colours. Watch this spot!

Having fun with Primary Colours

We had fun with the three primary colours today- Red, Yellow, and Blue. Then mixing them to make the secondary colours- orange, green, and purple

 Look at the results!

Whacky Fish!

We've heard this week that scientists know more about the Moon and Mars than about our oceans. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they found fish in the deep that look a bit like this...
