Ko Wai Au Art Response

Ko Wai Au - Reflection/Response

1. In 3 sentences, describe how you feel about your artwork you created?

I felt absolutely amazed, I had not expected my artwork to look anything like what it turned out to be. Every colour came out perfectly, just as I wanted it to. It can’t get anymore perfect… forme that is.

2. Describe the colour schemes you chose to use…

I had used cold colours for my koru, Hot colours for my background and once again cold colours for my boarder.

3. Maori motif and designs were an integral part of this artwork. Describe how you chose to use poutama, tapatoru and koru in your artwork...

I had chosen Tapatoru because I thought it would match up with my koru and the designs very easily!

4. What is the aspect of your artwork you are most proud of and why? I am most proud of my 3 special things that I had drawn. I think they look fabulous with my art and they fit in perfectly!

5. If you could change one aspect of your artwork for next time, what would it be and why?

I might change the way I had sketched with my pencil because In the potion bottle you can actually see the pencil marks and that disappoints me.

6. Who is one other person in Rm 10 that you consider did an exemplary job of their artwork? What are your reasons why? I would say Oscar Wilton’s Art!, Not just because he's just my friend but because his colour schemes look very delightful with the way he had drawn the koru and his 3 special things! Go Check out his block! Oscar W @ HNI 10

MY FAVOURITE FREE WRITING PIECE

Hi! This is my favourite free writing piece out of all the free writing we have done for the 6 weeks we have done it for.



Hello! My name is berry the ant, I am a fellow worker ant of the humble queen’s ant colony!

My job is to go and cut down the big leaves and bring them to the builder ants to build into a fungus garden. I am one of the leafcutter ants, the ants that group up together to go and cut down leaves and such. Our queen is safely secured in a special chamber built by the builder workers.she is very special to us because she is the one producing more eggs for future generations. It’s actually quite a scary us ants have because anytime could a predator come and attack us or smash a part of our ant colony, which could resolve in a really bad situation. There are 4 different types of ants in our colony, There is The queen, The builders, The leafcutters and the runners. I haven’t really told you about the runners yet… what they do is very dangerous but good! Once we cut down the leaves of a sapling or plant we will pass the leaves to the runner’s which will carry it to the colony and then it will give to the builder’s and THEN the builders will build the fungus gardens to help contain the colony system.

Ants, unlike humans can carry 20x their own body weight (THAT’S STRONG RIGHT?) which is what helps the runners carry leaves around the place!

That’s all I have to say about the colony and how we live thanks for reading BYE!!!!

Kate Sheppard

Here is my Kate Sheppard research that I had done. I found out lots new facts and that I didn't know before!

We also had to give reason for why our school house colour is called: Sheppard (Because it was named after Kate Sheppard) my reason is that I think we were named Sheppard House because we let others do what they can't do (To Give it a try!) and we also are a role model towards other Houses!!! (like Kate Sheppard).
