Impressionist Art / Camp

Kia Ora All,

Inquiry / Art

This week we've been learning about Impressionism and doing a painting inspired by Monet's waterlily / Japanese bridge works. We looked at how to build up texture by overlaying colours and using different paintbrush techniques. We've also been looking at the process that artists use to create different works. For this one we sketched a rough mid-line on the page in pencil before we started and used that to see where to sketch a rough guide for the pond and bridge. We then went in with our paint and started layering up the textures.

Camp

Mark has been over to Nelson twice and I've been over once recently preparing activities, doing a site visit etc. The activities are locked in, kids are primed and we're all looking forward to an excellent camp. On Friday I sent home a final notice with consent form, itinerary and gear list. Please make sure you receive the forms. Let me know if you need another one if Friday's one becomes lost or misplaced.

Rock On,
Mr M
