My BLUE Blowfish by Matthew

In week two I made a Blow fish in the class. First I blew up the balloon. Then I knotted the balloon.  I put glue newspaper all over the balloon. When it was dry I painted it blue. Stuck  2 eyes and a fin.

It looks beautiful!!!

My Blowfish by Joel

During this term, our class made Blowfishes. First, we had to blow a balloon up. I blew my balloon up but I couldn't knot it, so I had to get Mina to help me do it. Then we had to glue newspapers onto them. Next, we painted them. I painted my Blowfish green. After that, we put some wet and sticky paper onto our Blowfish to make its mouth. We put on two paper eyes. Next, we put on two paper fins. Then we put on a paper tail on its back. After that, we left it for a few days before they were done. Now they are all ready to be shown at Te-Oro Art centre.

  

Fun times with Portrait Olympics.

Here we are completing our Portrait Olympics at the Sommerville School Art Festival. You had to draw the other side of a famous New Zealnder's face or a student from EWC 1. It was loads of fun and was super busy. Lots of people came and gave it a go.

Portrait Olympics...check it out! by Joel

On Thursday and Friday, we went to the Sommerville Art Festival. We went in 3 cars. We did Portrait Olympics. I explained to the younger students how to play the game with Mina. Students had to draw one half of the faces of famous people from NZ.  To play the game, first you have to get into 2 teams. Then you have to run up and draw 1 part of the face, high five the next student and then they go and draw another part of the face.

We also went to the dancing room and watched Edgewater 2’s Michael Jackson dance. We did some fan art with Edgewater 3. Jane invited us to the sensory room. It was nice to get that experience. Then we went to KFC to have lunch. It  was a good day.
