REFLECTING ON OUR ART!

Today was the final day of our Art Inquiry.  We had to REFLECT on what we had learnt and how we had learnt it.

THE ART EXPO!

Over the weekend Piako Rua's fantastic art was displayed up at Soskey's cafe.  

Here are a few photos of the expo. 

 We think we are pretty awesome - we are real artists now!

We put in the art that we felt bet met the Success Criteria that Mrs Peck set at the start of the term.

ART - THINK IT GREAT

On Thursday, we took some time to REFLECT on our learning.  We had an organiser to complete for each of our pieces of art.

The organiser helped us think through the criteria that Mrs Peck set us WAY back at the start of the term.  We had to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each of our pieces of art and reflect on what the audience might think of them.

Once we had evaluated each piece, we had to compare our two pieces and decide which piece we wanted to share in the Art Expo.  The other piece, would be the one we share in assembly on Friday.

Our teachers were very impressed with how well we evaluated each piece and that every single one of us was able to state what piece we were exhibiting and why we chose that piece.

We are brilliant art critics now!

"MAKE IT MONDAY" - A CAR FOR THE TEDDIES!

Today the children had a go at making a car for our class teddies.  They needed to ensure the car had safety features, that it moved and that the bear fitted in it.
