To celebrate 30 years of Duffy Books in Home programme, we were given a library Duffy box to design to stock our Duffy books. We started by searching up zentangle or cultural patterns for inspirations to draw on our boxes. For my box, I decided to draw some traditional Tongan patterns on my box. I had to sketch out my pattern on it first therefore I could erase out the mistakes I did, after that I used black vivid to draw over the sketch.

I found this activity enjoyable because I really enjoyed using my creativity and my artistic skills.

LI:  To use different types of warm and cool colours to recreate a world-known painting from Van Gogh.

This week’s art is about Van Gogh and his famous art piece “The Starry Night”. The Class was divided into 2 groups of 16 people, 1 of each group remade “The Starry Night” in warm colours and cool colours digitally. Each group divided 16 pieces of the Starry Night with each person in the group. Working as a collaborative team we gathered all or pieces to 1 DLO to finally reach our desired outcome.

I found this activity fun and helpful because it helps us collaborate together as a team and get used to talking with different people.

We drew our digital whale tail onto a paper.

First, we needed to practise shading to make the Whale Tail look like 3D.

Next, I needed to choose my colour. The colours I needed are Grey, Dark Black and Blue. I chose the colour Grey, Dark Blue and Black because it represents the colour of the whale and it represents sadness and the calmness of the whales. I chose to make a curve as a pattern because it shows the slow decrease in population. 

Last, I drew my digital whale tail onto the paper. I drew some curves around the Whale Tail and I coloured the colours I used inside the curves.

I enjoyed this activity because I drew my own whale tail design. I did well on drawing and colouring. I need to improve on shading to make it look 3D.

We created an Anzac Quatrefoil.

First, I need to practise drawing a silhouette on scrap paper. I need to draw a silhouette standing on the bottom right, another silhouette crouching on the bottom left. I also need to draw a cross in the middle and a flag behind it, a cross on the top left and another cross on the top right.

Next, I drew the two silhouettes on the quatrefoil paper, the 3 crosses and the flag that is behind the middle cross.

Last, I need to colour the background red and I need to colour the silhouette, cross and in black. I colour the flag blue and the handle grey.

I enjoyed this activity because I created an Anzac quatrefoil. I did well on drawing the silhouette. I need to improve on colouring.

On week 5 we learnt how to make a Quatrefoil and information about Max Gimblett.

First, we needed to make 2 lines. The first line needs to me horizontally and the other line needs to be vertically. The 2 lines needs to be in the middle, if you see the red horizontally or vertically line that means its in the middle.

Next, we needed to add 4 circles. The first circle needs to be on the middle top and we need to put the circle if the red line horinzontally line appears and make the same thing on the other circles but we need to place them in a different place to make it look like a quatrefoil. Then you group them together.

Last, we can design what emotion we should make. There are so many emotions like Happy, Angry, Excited, Sad and others. My emotion was the sad personality.

I enjoyed this activity because I learnt information about Max Gimblett. I did well on making the quatrefoil. I need to improve on knowing information about Max Gimblett.
