Years 5 to 8 Art

Year 5 — Under the Sea

The Year 5 boys had to create an artwork called ‘Under the Sea’. It was a fun piece of artwork to do…. we painted sea creatures, shipwrecks and seaweed. We used dye for the sea and then we painted with water colour.

Matthew Li, 5B

Year 6 — Cats

I drew my cat in black and white and then I coloured it. It took me a long time to get the shapes right but I was happy with the result.

James Dou, 6P

Year 7 — Owls and Canopic Jars Year 7 were looking at art from the past and in particular, ‘The Little Owl’ by Albrect Durer, 1506. We sketched the owls first and then painted them in water colour. We also made Canopic Jars out of clay. The Ancient Egyptians used these jars to store the organs of the body after death. Sean Ma, 7M

Year 8 — Landscapes Landscape painting was our theme for Term 3. We studied some New Zealand landscape painters and then we got to do our own. Some boys painted from photos but I wasn’t sure so I painted from my imagination. I really enjoyed designing my landscape. Soko Selan, 8S
