Kia Ora Bloggers, Do you know what the Meaning of Matariki is?
This past week in Toroa we have been working on some art, this art is based around Matariki.
Our process was first we had to make a sketch/ draft copy on a piece of A4 paper of our design, this had to include mountains and the Matariki stars after we drew our very first sketch we then had to turn the stars into swirls. After this, we had finished our sketch but had to reverse the image so it would be the right way when we flip it later, then the first step had finished so we moved onto the second step the foam, our task was to copy our design onto the foam and be very careful not to snap, poke through or slice the foam as we only had one piece if that broke we had no other chance, Our third step is what I'd say was the most fun one, The oil paint, this was a very fun step and what we had to do was get a roller with some paint on it and then just roll it onto our foam, we got to as many colors as we wanted ( I chose to use two ) and then we flipped it onto a piece of A3 paper and got a clean roller and rolled it onto the back to make sure it was on correctly and the paint showed, Then we got to choose if we wanted to do another one, I chose to so I had to wash off the first coat of paint, make sure it was super dry and then do the process again ( This time I chose to do Purple and Balck). After I had done my second one I decided to not do another and snapped the foam in half so It wasn't mistaken for another person's one. So today our task was to first of all pick what one we wanted to frame and then to frame it, we had to cut a frame out of A3 card and then glue it to our Picture so we had a nice clean border. Then we were finished, I think I did quite a good job on my design and I like how the colors blend into each other. What I probably would've done differently is make the indents a bit more visible because you can't really see them and maybe added on a bit more paint because there are a few spots I missed. Do you know the names of all the Matariki stars? What mountains would you've done?
Please leave me some feedback on my post. Blog you later!
