When some of our class went on Wide Horizons, the children who were left behind got to paint a paua picture. The children looked at the art work of Reuben Patterson. He uses maori symbols and glitter in his work. We thought that this would make our art work interesting.
The children got a paua shape that the teacher drew for us. We drew some korus on the middle strip of our paua paintings. Next we had to check with the teacher to see if we could go over it in a black sharpie. Then after morning tea we got to paint them but instead of doing strokes we did blobs and blended the colours of paint that we choose. After that the teacher dried them with the dryer so that we could do the final part to the art work.
When they had all dried, two at a time, the children got to pick two different colours of glitter and sprinkle it on. When the glitter dried we put them up on the wall. They all look really good.
Briana.
