Juanita's Recount

On Wednesday Graham Dodd, an artist came to PBS. We meet him in the hall. We were really lucky to have an art session with  him.  He gave us some tasks and showed all of us new skills. Shading dark to light to make it stand out more. I learnt that shading make the picture more 3D and less 2D. Hills are actually light blue to show distance but appear green when you walk closer and closer. I think that our pictures went well and they look really nice. Our painting shows the maori land and a multi cultural side( town). It also was fun because it took the whole block then we went straight to lunch.

Art work

On wednesday all the seniors students had fun with Mr Graham Dodd. All the students have to take sketching pencil, pencil, colour pencil and Book for press on. There were R5,6,7,8 and 9. All the senior student have to sit in the row with their class. Mr Graham Dodd gave us a paper with small dots thats where we are going to draw the lines. When we are ready Mr Graham Dodd said that” we can start”. We have to follow Mr Graham Dodd and we have to copy what he did on his paper. He started to do the lines on the dots, we also started after Mr Graham Dodd  . He did some shading so the picture will show up like 3D effect. When we finish colouring the building, people and the tree. We did the rainbow and all the people rainbow were looked great. Mr Graham Dodd colour the hill with light blue because it was far away. We finish all the colouring and the shade. The picture started to look great. I think all the student did their best and they were following Mr Graham Dodd’s instruction so they got their picture similar to Mr Graham Dodd’s picture. All the senior class room did well because they were interested and listened to the instructions and made a great effect.

Awesome Art with Graham Dodd

 Today PBS had a fantastic art session with Graham Dodd. He taught us how to draw a landscape scene and bring it to life through shading and placement of the lines. What a great way to spend a teaching block!
