1. Ruth talked us through making it.
2. We penciled it out.
3. Added korus.
4. Put in the hand of our whakairo, something that said 'us'. E.G Someone who likes soccer, they would put a soccer ball.
5. Then we outlined it with Black or brown pastel.
6. Finally we dyed our Whakairo red or brown.
Our second creation, is still at work. It is a Kowhaiwhai panel patten. Before we dye or paint it, we designed it in our design and art book. We then experimented to see if we would like to pastel, dye, water-colour or paint it. We did this by drawing our design, and then moved from table to table. Each table had either Paint, dye... Here are our Whakairo.

Hi Madeline,
ReplyDeleteI am very proud of your work. I loved your artwork and the way you write the instructions. They were simple, clear and easy to follow.
What special symbol did you use in your Whakairo? I guess it has something to do with Canada, Misty, or painting nails !
Very Proud Mum!

Fantastic work Madeline. Looks like you are in a very talented class. No wonder you love school so much.

Excellent procedural writing Madaline. Your writing is clear and simply presented which can be very difficult to achieve. Of course the art work 'speaks' for itself...utterly outstanding!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is really great, Madeline. I remember working with pastels when I was in school. We used to cover the desks with lots of newspaper so that our desks wouldn't get dirty. Somehow, the desks always did... as did our hands and our clothes. I'm looking forward to seeing the panels!
