Art Attack Blog, Week 5, Term 3

WHAT?

For art attack my goal was to produce a piece of art related to our local landscape using paint.

With Mrs Marsh I learned about foreground, midground and background in landscapes.

With Mr Forman I learned about what colour is and complementary colours.

With Mr Rule I looked at the different landscape features of Canterbury and Banks Peninsula.

SO WHAT?

• Some features I included were hills, a pond, a fish, and a flower.
• I used dry brushing for some of my painting, and how I would have done it if I didn't know dry brushing existed for the rest.
• I enjoyed making the outside of my pond because I made it all squiggly, and I like making things squiggly.
• I am proud of how my hills turned out, and the colour of them because it was a nice, mineral colour, which was how I wanted it. My hills looked quite nice when they were dry brushed.
• I found doing the fish in the pond difficult because I had to be very careful about where I put my paint brush so that I didn't get the paint where I didn't want it. I found sketching it easy because all I was really doing was tracing.

NOW WHAT?

• I would like to do paint again if I did another landscape because I think my first painting turned out well with paint, and I just need to improve my pictures/sketches.
• I would like to get better at showing foreground/ the front of the picture because my flower wasn't nearly as big as my tree, which was in the mid ground/the middle of the picture, and my flower was in the front of the picture/foreground.

My Learning Goals for Term 3

What?

I have been identifying my literacy goals for the start of term 3.

My reading teacher is Mrs Marsh.

My writing teacher is Mrs Marsh.

So What?

My handwriting goals are to flick and link letters neatly and I am still learning to use cursive.

My spelling goal is vocabulary development.

My writing goal is to identify the structure and features of a moment in time/descriptive writing, and to plan our moment in time using our senses.

My reading goal is to understand what the author has written in a paragraph to help us make a sensible prediction on what will happen in the next paragraph.

Now What?

My blog goals are:

To proofread and edit my blog post before publishing.

To use a variety of ways to show my learning (text, photos/images, video).

To do a ‘Can Do’ blog about an achievement, some other learning or something i am proud of.
