Enlargement

One of our final maths tasks for Term 2 was to enlarge some drawings.  First we created some in our maths books and then we all helped create an enlargement of a piece of James Rizzi type art we have been doing.  This required team work and checking in with other class members to see if our pictures were lining up and we were using the correct colours.  We reflected on how well we did at the end and decided that we needed to keep referring back to the people who were working on the piece next to us and we should have communicated better about which colours to use and check we had the correct pastel before starting.  Overall we thought we had created a pretty good enlargement!

James Rizzi Art

I found these three cool art lessons of DeepSpaceSparkle website and decided this could be our final art project for the term.  They are based on the work of the artist James Rizzi.  The children are now studying Rizzi's artwork and need to create a piece of art for Agriculture Day that reflects some components that make it like James Rizzi's art.  These pictures are so cool and all the children enjoyed creating them.  Finlay and Jared were both away from school when we made these.
