Matariki is a time to acknowledge the dead and to release their spirits to become stars. It was also a time to reflect, to be thankful to the gods for the harvest, to feast and to share the bounty of the harvest with family and friends.

For Art, we have been making a collaborative Matariki Star.

First, we sketch out our ideas on a diamond shaped piece of paper,we had two pieces of paper so we could choose the best one.

Next, we got a foam tile, and we had to softly draw out the design on our foam tile.

After we had to poke it with a pencil,some people took out the middle of the design.

Then, we rolled some paint onto the design.

Last, we printed 5 diamond pieces to make a big star with different designs.

For the past 3 weeks we have been doing art silhouette.Art silhouette is were it kinda looks like a shadow of what type of activity you do.you have to chose 3-4 colours you draw lines and you colour in those lines with the colour you chose then when your done colouring in all of the lines you cut out you silhouette and stick it on to you drawing this is how mine turned out.

I enjoyed it because we got to Art my favourite subject!
