9ART - My Favourite Drawings


9ART

On the left we have two of my favourite drawings I did during 9ART. The top one is of a fishhook necklace design with Siapo/Tapa designs around the background. I started by drawing a basic fishhook. I then added the spiral detail along the top and changed the point at the end. I also then added a dolphin to the bottom right of my fishhook. I then shaded in the hook and added the rope at the top. I then added the outline of the wave design at the bottom. I then drew in the flower design and shaded every second one black. I finished my drawing by adding the triangular pattern along the sides.

My next drawing was the first I did in the module. I started by lightly drawing the cube. I then drew the outline of the sphere, then the cylinder. I then drew the triangular-pyramid in the back then added the horizon line so you could see that none of the shapes are floating. I then started shading in all the shapes so they would look 3D.

Our New Zealand

Last term in NZL (New Zealand studies), we learnt a lot about identity. We learnt about our identities and the identities of everything around us.






This is an example of this. We learnt about the identity of kiwi's. We drew a kiwi and filled it with different facts.





This term we are learning to express our self through art. We learnt about a famous photographer and why s/he took photo's of what s/he did. We also looked at the different artworks and what symbolic icons are in it.
