This term we have been working to create a piece of art for our bi-annual art show. This year our theme for the art show is animals. It links with our Inquiry work too. Manukau have just about finished their pieces. We have been combining quite a few techniques to create 3-D fish in an underwater scene.

Firstly, we created paper mache fish using water balloons, paper and paste. While these dried we designed and created an underwater scene on A3 paper. As part of this, we were learning about mixing and blending pastels to create new colours and smooth effects. Some of us also chose to collage extra features onto our scene. Once our balloons were dry, we cut them in half, hot glued them to cardboard then added the fins. We chose New Zealand fish for inspiration. With our plan ready, we then cut these out using craft knives and painted our fish appropriately. The final stage was positioning the two fish we created on our background, again using hot glue.
