These few weeks we have been working on Matariki stars. Because it was the 13 of July. Matariki is a time Learn or do some weaving and learn about the natural world. You can make kites or fly kites. The seven sisters arrived in midwinter.
The class sat on the mat the teacher put on a video to give us some facts about matariki the teacher gave out white paper. Everyone got a piece of paper to use.
We had to draw a star on the paper but the teacher drew most of them. Most of the stars had 5 points. The stars had to have white and black patterns also known as zentangle.
After we drew the patterns we used dye to make a background for our stars. The colours we used were Brown,Yellow, Green,and red. When it dried I cut out the star and glued it onto the beautiful piece of paper with a glue stick.
I really like the way you have done your background Kushla.I especially like that the dye is in small dabs and dots.It makes your pencil work stand out.
ReplyDeleteDye is such a cool material to use as the colours flow into each other and blend well.
What is going to happen to your star now that it is completed?.
