LI: to draw our name as a taniwha
For this task we made a Taniwha and wrote it as our name. For example: we drew a taniwha as one of our letters (my taniwha was my M). We wrote these names, so we could added it to our painting we made of ourselves. We drew a draft before we made our taniwha, so we didn’t have to think of a design.
I enjoyed this task because we put some creativty.
LI: To learn about the traditional history of the Tamaki River.
Moka-Ika-Hikuwaru is a taniwha that lives within the panmure. This taniwha had eight tails. Our design of Moka-Ika-Hikuwaru is, he is doing a pukana, and the sun doing a pukana like in the story of Maui and the sun. The pattern on its face has little hearts on the eyes and the mouth. To shows it love. The little design on its body is a sympol of the water flowing left to right. The coloured of the background shows that the green is that the taniwha is on land and the blue is the sky.
I found this activity diffcult because I didn’t know how to draw a taniwha from my mind and we wasn’t allowed to trace the taniwhas design.
LI: To make use of the whole space, To shade and blend colours, To use complementary colours.
In this activity we learn to make use of the whole space on the paper and to blend and shade using complementary colours. Complementary colours are colours that that are opposite one another on the colour wheel and when used next to each other stand out.
We found this activity creative because it had to use the whole space and the shading was challenging making it dark – mediem dark – light.
I created a whale tail art peice.
First I drew a digital whale tail. I used a sunset, birds, and flowers. I used this to represent things about a whale tail. The flowers means peace, sunset means that the whales will rasie like the sun, and the birds are apart of the sunset.
Next I coloured in my art and wrote about what the things I put in the whale tail. I wrote it so I can represent my whale tail. The colours I used was brown, yellow, green, orange, and black.
Lastly I used my digital whale tail to put it into a non digital whale tail. I practised how to shade my whale tail. I drew a whale tail because whales and dieing.
I enjoyed this task because I created a whale tail about something. I need to improve on making my design better. I did well on colouring in the whale tail.
I created a Anzac Quatrefoil.
First I had to draw a quatrefoil about Anzac. Anzac stands for Australia New Zealand Army Corps.
Next I made stick mans that are standing. Some ideas are: soldiers saluting, a cross, a soldier shooting, and a poppy. We had to plan our colours, space, and our shpaes or symbols.
Lastly I created a quatrefoil that relates to anzac I used 2 men standing to respect and a grave. I used the salute to show the captain of the army.
I enjoyed this task because I didn’t know that Anzac stands for Australia New Zealand Army Corps. I need to improve on doing my print design rules because I didn’t put much space between them. I did well on thinking of some ideas because I know some things because about Anzac.
