WALT: Use colour, shapes, pattern and scale to create our abstract painting inspired by technology

Today we went on a trip to Te Tuhi art gallery. We split up into 2 groups and one group went at 9:30am and came back at 11:50am. I was in the other group so we left at 11:50am and got back to school at 2:30pm. One thing that I really enjoyed at the Te Tuhi art gallery was that I got to see the different art that people have created and also see the different videos that people made. Another thing that I really enjoyed was making abstract art and using different colours, shapes and texture to create something! 

We got a tour around the gallery and one thing that caught my eye was a sign that said "JESUS" that was made out of brown sugar. This is because it was made out of brown sugar and a kind of super glue to help put it together. Also, the story behind this was something that was very specific and I good reason of why she did that.

One thing that I learnt today at Te Tuhi was how to make abstract art using colour, shapes, patterns etc. To make something abstract, you need to use different shapes and colours to create an effect. This is an example:

As you can see, these people have used different shapes, colours and texture.

How to create abstract art - process:

1. On your cardboard paper, outline with pencil the stencil the 4 technology stencils you have chosen.
2. draw two lines down and two lines across.
3. outline with vivid.
4. Choose 4 different colours to paint on your art(make sure the same colours of paint are not side by side).
5. Wait till dry!

I used the colours red, purple, blue and orange because I think that they are really good colours to use together! I decided to draw a laptop, a t.v, a pencil and a PS4(Playstation 4) controller because they are really common and they are technology that a lot of people use in the daily lives!

QUESTION: What do you now know about abstract art?

IALT: Discover what Abstract art is/means

This week we have been learning about abstract art because we will be going to the Te Tuhi Art Gallery in a next week. We got shown a few paintings that are abstract art and they weren't very clear to see. Abstract art is when you are using different shapes, colours, sizes and forms and turning it into artwork. 

We are learning about Abstract art because it's something that is different and when you are making it, you are using different shapes and sizes to represent something. Abstract means using shapes, colour and size to create a painting that represents what you have done. When creating abstract art, the technology that you are using are paint brushes, shapes, material etc.

WALH: To make something abstract!

Today we have done our 2nd lesson on abstract art. We saw some pictures that were transformed into abstract art using shapes. One thing that caught my eye was the laptop because they tried to make it kind of slant and had the laptop open. We looked at the basic shapes that were used to create something abstract.

WALA: Technology people use for abstract art!

Today we have done our 3rd lesson about the different types of technology that people use for abstract art and what technology people used years ago until now. I found out that paint brushes, measuring tape, ruler, pencils, canvas etc are the things that people use to make abstract art. I also found out that they used different cameras in the olden days but now we use phones, upgrades cameras etc to take photos/selfies. I think that when artist are creating art, it might be really hard because they have to be creative and use the different objects around the room to create something!

One thing that I am looking forward at Te Tuhi is maybe making my own abstract art where I get to be creative! I am also looking forward to seeing the different abstract art that people have made!

QUESTION: Have you made abstract art before?
