Tropical Splendor

This term we are learning about art. In Room 19 we have been painting and learning about lines. They create boundaries and define shapes. It’s taking us time to learn how to do really light, thin lines.
We have been practicing drawing, sketching and painting, by using colours, mixing and layering in our art.

Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, Matisse and a New Zealand artist Danielle Hulme.
Last week there was a rotation with the year 7 and 8 intermediate classes. Our first rotation was room 20, in room 20 we learnt  about Danielle Hulme. Miss Squires Showed us how good Danielle Hulme was at her art. But mainly in all of her paintings there's something to do with Island Patterns. Like the beach in one of her paintings and with the flowers added. In one of her cool paintings there was a lady wearing a dress that includes flowers. But I think in all of her paintings is about her husband’s culture (Samoan).

Painting a flower of Danielle Hulme is called Tropical Splendor. A Tropical Splendor is what room 19 painted. As I was getting started I had to sketch the flower before I painted. But then I managed to get to the point where I could paint. I enjoyed the day with Miss Squires. Thank you Miss Squires for a lovely day. Thank you Naomi
