Term 4 Extension Research

This term we our theme was art alive. And in yr 7 & 8 Extension we looked at the different aspects of art. It was quite, interesting and I was in the 'Art Historians' group. This meant I got to look at what they, do some famous art historians and I got to look at different artists too. I learnt a lot more than I originally thought I would.

Loss of Biodiversity

This week we learnt about the biodiversity and what a loss of biodiversity is. It was quite interesting but even so, we were only briefly able to touch on this topic as 3 of our literacy sessions have been tests in the past 2 weeks. Here is my poster explaining what a loss of biodiversity is and the main causes of it. I found this text interesting however, it was something that I've already heard a lot about so my attitude towards it may be a bit underwhelmed.

 

Georges Seurat

Today we learnt about the French Artist Georges Seurat. He lived a 'comfortable life' in France in 1859-1891. We learnt about the technique he used to create the many wonderful pieces of art. I found it most interesting that he never mixed paints but instead chose to let out eyes mix the paints, when he painted his paintings with small dots and dashes super close together.

Term 4 Art Alive

 This week is the first week of Term 4. And like always were had an immersion assembly and thankfully the fact that we were in level 1 meant that the whole school could come together again. Our theme for this term is Art Alive.

In Team 5 this term we will be learning about different artists and different types of art. I really enjoyed the play the team 5 teachers put on it was very interesting and had many different aspects of art. I especially enjoyed that Mr Hughes actually spoke in spanish and english for his art introduction and I was able to understand both languages. :))

This term I am really excited to learn about art and hopefully improve. I'm hope that we get to try many different kinds of art styles. I've wanted to do art in school for a while because both the process and finished project always look very interesting and tell some kind of story.
