2022 Waikowhai Art Festival!

Just need to glue that in. DONE!

Hello to the World,

Today’s topic is: Art Festival! This year my school had an Art Festival. Each class had it own theme that they were working on. My classes theme was ‘Conserve for Tomorrow’. So we did lots of parts to it. We started off by making our own cardboard stencil. Then we had to draw a pacific pattern on a brown piece of paper and then dye. It ended looking very similar to Tapa cloth. Afterwards we used our stencil to make a screen print on both black and brown pieces of  paper. Next we cut out an underwater animal silhouette on a black piece of paper and finally we cut out our tapa designs and screenprints to make a geometric shape for the biggest part of our animals body and we were finally finished. But Mrs Jones (My Awesome Teacher) had an idea of drawing a frame on the wave. So we did and on it we wrote ‘CONSERVE -‘ and what our animal we have drawn and cut outs maori name. I am really happy with the out come but I hated the fact that we need to cut out all the hard working that we had been doing.

Here are some of the outcomes for me and my class:

My Classes Tapa Art!
Some of my classes Screenprints

I liked painting my decarotions balloon.

I learnt that if you take a short cut when you make a paper mache balloon it makes it a long cut.

I found adding the newspaper layers on balloon.

What connections can you make between the two Artists Kaupapa and uses of the grid?

Tracy Tawhiao and Sofia Minson

I think that the connection between Tracy Tawhia and Sofia Minson’s uses of the grid were both the same, as I can see in their paintings they have similarities in the grid which is really cool. They also both like drawing about Maori, Tracy Tawhiao was drawing Maori pattern symbols which is really cool and She doesn’t only make one pattern, she makes different Maori patterns and it was so amazing.  Sofia Minson also likes drawing about Maori but mostly she draws people’s faces and also likes drawing animals. When Sofia Minson draws people’s faces there is a background that has Maori patterns which are like Tracy Tawhiao’s drawing.

What connections can you make between the two Artists Kaupapa and uses of the grid?

Sofia Minson and De Chirico

I think that Sofia Minson and De Chirico have a similarity in using grids and also they have similarities in drawing people’s faces and it was really amazing to look at. The difference between their painting is that Sofia Minson drawing with a people’s face has a background and it also has a cool pattern on the background, De Chirico has a background but doesn’t have any pattern on the background. His background is like it shows the sky and around the back like Sun, beach etc.

World Vision 40 hour famine

The World Vision 40 Hour Famine is New Zealand’s largest youth fundraising campaign. Every year since 1975, tens of thousands of young Kiwis have taken a stand through a 40 Hour Challenge to raise money and bring hope to thousands of children living in poverty in more than 40 countries.

 

Traditionally, the 40 Hour Challenge meant going without food for 40 hours. However, over the years, people have become creative, finding fun new challenges such as giving up screens, furniture or technology for 40 hours. Or how about living out of a backpack, doing 40 good deeds, or taking a 40-hour vow of silence – whatever your idea is, just go for it! 

 

So far, more than 3 million New Zealanders have participated and over $80 million has been raised – helping to transform thousands of lives both here in New Zealand, and around the world. 

 

4 ways that World Vision help are:

 

  • Food
  • Education
  • Child Protection
  • Medical supplies

 

Food – Giving food to countries that have been affected by something or someone ( plural )

 

Education – World Vision gives teachers free classroom resources, and free NCEA resources. They include apps for the teachers to download to help their students understand society and their place in the world.

 

Child Protection – Giving children a normal childhood, instead of having too be slaves and marrying at a young age.

 

Medical supplies –  Giving people medicine and health supplies ( bandages etc. )to help with their health or medical problems.

 

4 countries that World Vision support are:

 

  • Uganda
  • India
  • Syria
  • Vanuatu

 

Uganda – Uganda grows their own food and harvest it but then it all stopped growing and died due to bad soil. World Vision gives them free food. 

 

India – In India, less than half the population have jobs and only get paid around 2 dollars a day. They can’t afford some essential needs like the doctor, the dentist or other things. World Vision gives them free medicine and food.

 

Syria – Since Syria has been at war since 2015 with Turkey, World Vision helps Syria by dropping off food supplies, sending health care products. But before World Vision came along,  Ukraine would supply their food, now since they are at war, they can’t supply anymore.

 

Vanuatu – Vanuatu suffered a cyclone.And it ruined their crops. WV supplies food and medicine for them.

 

Have you ever participated in the 40 hour famine?

Yes, we donated money to WV to help them.

 

Do you think that you could participate in the 40 hour famine?

I think I could 

 

What else could you do to support World Vision?

Donate, no food for 40 hours

Surrealist subversion; read or listen and watch

 

Locate one artwork

– Quick Thumbnail label everything.

Describe the Artwork

This artwork from De Chirico was really cool, As I can see in his artwork he like drawing side views of the building and he also likes drawing people’s faces which is really amazing. In this picture, as I can see here there was in the middle who was laying down, on the left and side there was a house side view which is really amazing. On the far end, there was like a flag and besides, there was a train.

 Explain how subversion is demonstrated in this artwork’s subject matter

De Chirico founded the Scuola Matematica art movement, which profoundly influenced the surrealist

De Chirico’s work from this era was termed “Metaphysical Painting” by the French poet and critic Guillaume Apollinaire, and it would become fundamental to the development of Surrealism for the way his enigmatic scenes seemed less concerned with presenting any kind of reality than they were with offering up dreamlike

Explain how subversion is demonstrated in the space and paint application used by De Chirico

After studying art in Athens and Florence, de Chirico moved to Germany in 1906 and entered the Munich Academy of Fine Arts. His early style was influenced by Arnold Böcklin’s and Max Klinger’s paintings, which juxtapose the fantastic with the commonplace.

What similarities can you list between Tawhiao and De Chirico’s work?

What I can see is that between Tracy Tawhia and De Chirico’s works the similarities are that they both like drawing from Maori, and Tracy Tawhiao like drawing about Maori different types of symbols.  De Chirico’s work is that he likes drawing people from the past and it is also related to Maori he also likes drawing different types of side view buildings and houses which is really cool to look at.
