Tamati's painting

Transport painting:
To create this painting I first did some rough sketches of different forms of transport and I chose my favourite one to paint. I drew the design onto cardboard and went over the lines in vivid. I made sure to erase all pencil lines before I started painting this is because pencil can show through the paint. Ie then painted our transport designs.

How does a hot air balloon fly?

This is the information that Kowhai house has researched and the poster that Kowhai house has created for our Guided inquiry learning.

Printmaking

I created this print by making the image on a block using card. Then I rolled an even coat of ink over the surface and placed paper over the block applying pressure using my hands and a roller to transfer the print.

Tamati's plane

I used lego to make a toy plane.

Dump Truck

I was able to cut out the parts from a picture and invent a Thing-A-Me-Jig by rearranging the parts.

All about me flower

I created an “All about me” flower. In my flower I described my gender, my ethnicity, my age, my year level and my favourite fruit.

A strip of Aotearoa

Firstly I drew the sky, mountain, river, land and sea on a strip of paper using a pencil.  I then used a vivid to go over my drawing. Finally I dyed the strip using a paintbrush and different coloured dyes.

It is special to our family because it was my great grandfather.  It was given to my dad and my dad gave it to me.

Plant sketch

I was able to sketch a plant using pencil. Then I used chalk on the pencil outlines. Next I used pastel to colour it in. Finally I used glitter to make my work look pretty.

How do plants grow?

 
The plant starts off as a seed.
Inside the seed is the embryo.
The embryo turns into a seedling and then into the plant.
Flowers produce seeds before they die. 

When seeds reach the ground new plants grow. 

All about me.
