This week we have been focusing on Literacy and Art in class. We were focusing on the artist Georgia O’Keeffe and one of her paintings based on a skyscraper.
We used paint and shapes to paint a skyscraper. We used the shapes to print the windows and we mixed yellow and white paint to get different colours of light for the windows.
We also made fireworks pictures with pastels.
We wrote autobiographies to display with our paintings in the art show and we also wrote biographies about Georgia O’Keeffe. We used the iPads to research about the life of Georgia O’Keeffe.
We also used the iPads to research about skyscrapers and find out how tall they are and when they were built.
We found doing the fireworks pictures fun and messy. We also enjoyed doing the skyscraper paintings.
It sounds like you had a very busy week.
It sounds like you have learnt a lot this week and used many new skills. I am looking forward to displaying all your work at the art exhibition this Friday.
We can’t wait to see your work at the art show.
