THE START OF A NEW YEAR

Welcome to Room 2 2016. What a start to the year! The new Year 7's have been getting use to senior life from digital classroom procedures to technology classes at Whakatane Intermediate. The Year 8's have been busy supporting the Year 7's through this process, well done guys! Here are some highlights.

'Where the Wild Things Are' Art Assignment 

Room 2 have been creating art that follows the techniques of Maurice Sendak who is the author and illustrator of 'Where the Wild Things Are' 

In groups of 6 the students had to recreate a piece of art from 'Where the Wild Things Are'. They cut the piece into 6 and each student had to draw their piece onto a larger piece of cardboard, so they also had to look at scale to make sure their art was as accurate to their cut out as possible.

LEARNING INTENTIONS

Developing practical knowledge: WALT Observe and copy the drawing techniques of the

illustrator Maurice Sedmak as accurately as you can in pencil.
