Art

This term we are working towards an art exhibition. Currently we are looking at the French artist Henri Rousseau, and basing our own artworks on his jungle paintings. Below is one process we have used. Next week we will use a different medium to create artworks with a very New Zealand flavour, but still based on Rousseau's works.

Using the laptop to see Rousseau's jungle paintings, we "zoomed in" and did a sketch.

"Zooming in" even more, we created a chalk and pastel picture using our own colour palettes.....

We covered it with Indian ink and then washed it off again. The ink soaked into the chalk lines between the pastel, giving a lovely black background, and an interesting texture over the whole picture.
