Awesome Animal Mosaic Art!

Wow - check out this amazing art from our Year 5s!

Firstly:
- we created graffiti art on A3 size paper using crayon and pastel
- then we did a wash of dye over the top

Then:
- we ripped the paper up!!!!!!
- we put it all in a pile in the middle to SHARE

Then:
- we created our animals fur/feathers by placing similar colours together and arranging them until we were happy with what we saw
- we used pva glue to make sure it stuck well

After that:
- we researched our chosen animals eye
- we discovered that eyes are not just one colour!
- we had lots of fun recreating the eyes using pastel
- we learnt that the white spot that makes the eye POP is actually a reflection

We are so proud of our work!!!

  1. Kia ora Moana Learning Hub, What effective and startling art work! You are innovative and with an 'eye' for detail (Dad Joke!) The colours are eye catching. How long did it take you to complete it?
