🎨Te Tuhi - Abstract Art Reflection🎨

🎨Te Tuhi - Abstract Art Reflection🎨

Today it is Tuesday and so the Kia Manawanui Syndicate had a trip to Te tuhi to create and learn about Abstract art. We had based our abstract art on technology since that is our new topic for term 4 for inquiry.

The first group to go to Te tuhi was group 1 which was my group; Some students had brang their water bottles while others decided not to, I decided to bring it because you can get a little thirsty on trips. When had arrived at Te Tuhi we had saw this MASSIVE sculpture made out of the material of a rice bag. Most people didn’t seem to recognise what it was so they thought it was a top of a building, sideways cake or a top of a tower. When Salome had come she had leaded us to the school programme area where we would be learning how to create and learn about abstract art. She showed us some examples from different artist, they were unrealistic and really show the abstract in the artwork. Their were 5 rules to make our own kind of abstract art and those were:

1. Outline the stencils of technology like, Phone, Game Controller, TV and many more.

2. 

   Mine is the one on the right (Green, Pink and Yellow)

   Use a ruler to create 2 lines go sideways and up on the paper.

3. Go over the sketches with a vivid
4. Erase pencil traces from under the vivid.
5. Colour in your drawing with 4-5 different colours of paint.

A rule that Salome told us about when we do abstract art is to not put the same colour next to each other because it will no look as good as you want it to be. I used the colours Yellow, Baby Blue, Light green, Lime green and a bright pink. I chose these colours because these colours had reminded me of summer which is my favourite season, and I thought the colours would blend really well together.

After we had created our own abstract art relating to technology we had then been leaded around the exhibit where we were shown different kind of sculptures, artworks or videos made from famous artists with very odd things. 2 things I liked viewing from the Te Tuhi art exhibit was this sculpture made from a Chinese man named 'JJ', The sculpture that he had made was the sculpture you first see when you walk into the entrance; Salome had told us that JJ had actually made that sculpture to show one of the towers from the UK. The second sculpture I had enjoyed viewing was this sculpture called, 'Sweet Jesus', The artist had made this sculpture out of Brown sugar and had sculpted out the word JESUS; This Sculpture took 3-4 months. The lady had made this sculpture out of sugar because her Nana was forced to work at this sugar cane shop so the lady thought that she would make it out of brown sugar for her Nana.

After all I really enjoyed this morning block we had at Te Tuhi because I got to learn how to create abstract art and also to know more about the exhibits they have at Te Tuhi!
