Term 2 Reflection

Term 2, the term of Art Alive. It has been one of the best term so far from 2012. I just loved learning about all the artists like Henry Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Daniella Hulme, Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet and Charles Frederick Goldie. The two main people my class learnt about was Matisse and Van Gogh. Henry Matisse’s style of art is Fauvism. In French it means ‘Wild Beast’. Van Gogh uses impressionist.

Also in term 2, some of the people in the school including me, performed in Point England Performing Arts. Or as I call it, PEPA. I was in the opening performance. How Maui hooked in the earth and we done a haka to follow up. We performed to the school (Years 1-6) at 2.00. Then we performed to the parents at night time. That was the best performance.

Another highlight of the term was our art gallery. The hall was filled with art from years 1-8. They were out standing. All of the artists work was there. Matisse, Van Gogh, Monet, Hulme and Picasso along with Goldie. Only my Goldie artwork from extension was there. Not my class one. I was supposed to do my room but I didn’t take a picture of it. So I didn’t put it  up.

The last highlight of the term was our immersion rotation. That's when had to go to different classes. The first class we went to was our class. We stayed in Room 21 and learnt about Henri Matisse. The following day we went to Room 22 with Mrs Nua to learn about Vincent Van Gogh. The next day, we went to Mr Barks Class to learn the style of Pablo Picasso. His was my best artist. On Friday we went to Mr Slade to learn the style of Claude Monet. Next week on Monday, we went to Mrs Squires for the last day. We learnt about Daniella Hulme. That was a cool rotation.

Term 2 was a mean term of Art Alive. learning about Artists and their styles. I just can wait for Term 3. MEAN MAORI MEAN!!
