LI: To design our own matariki star.

In this activity we designed our own matariki star in our own way. My design was half moon and half sun. I chose this design because the moon represents Papatuanuku and how he shines bright every night. The sun represents the mana and power that goes into every Haka and Waiata. 4 got chosen to be combined into 1 amazing matariki star. This design gets put on a big wooden matariki star.

I enjoyed this activity because I created a Matariki star that has maori myths and legends.

LI:  To use different types of warm and cool colours to recreate a world-known painting from Van Gogh.

This week’s art is about Van Gogh and his famous art piece “The Starry Night”. The Class was divided into 2 groups of 16 people, 1 of each group remade “The Starry Night” in warm colours and cool colours digitally.

Each group divided 16 pieces of the Starry Night with each person in the group. Working as a collaborative team we gathered all or pieces to 1 DLO to finally reach our desired outcome.

I found this activity exciting because I got to copy a sqaure of the starry night.
