Draw what you can SEE not what you **imagine** will be there Tone: Look for the light and dark areas Fill in your portrait using light and dark **texture** as opposed to lines Be brave - avoid pretty, dark is dark, light is light No outlines - do not draw the outline first - start with the eyes and work out Proportion: Use some tricks and good observation to complete a portrait with good proportion Pop Art: Use lines to transform your portrait into areas of distinct light or dark (pop art style)
 * WALTS:**
 * I guess I did draw what I could see but at some points i did somethings different.**
 * Yes I can.**
 * I say yes but not all the times.**
 * Yes in most of my drawing I'm brave enough to make places dark where its dark and light where its light.**
 * I usually did outlines but sometimes I didn't do lines.**

I was brave - I have completed four distinctly **different** works? Did I avoid lines and outlines? Is my work well proportioned? Did I use texture well? Did I really take a risk and draw what I see, not what I expect or imagine to be there?
 * Success Criteria**

If I was to choose a tiny bit of my work that I love - what would it be and why? MY FIRST MY SECOND ||  || THIS MY THIRD MY POP ART ||  || ||  || [] [] [] []
 * Questions to challenge myself!**
 * //Why//** do I like or not like a particular work?
 * //Why//** did I enjoy or not enjoy a particular style?
 * Next steps for myself?**

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> Through my eyes <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> I see lots of color in my artworks of land. I am doing landscapes because I like the view of the land. I've been following an artist called John Gatenby. He inspired me with his very unique style of painting. I have learnt that John Gatenby's art style is realism and it has me by how I can learn and try his way of painting in my artworks.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> Through my eyes the world is a good, calm place. It's filled with laughter and happiness. People all over the place are having good times with each other. There are kids playing with friends.


 * PE EVALUATION**

//For my PE I've been doing some activities with Mr Mckay.// //The activities we've been doing is checking our pulse while resting, after intenstive and light activites and see how long it takes for us to recover.// //We've been doing these activities to see if we get fit so we can survive in difficult occasion.// //In term 1, on every Thursday we had PE with Mr Kiore.// //We usually practised rippa rugby skills becaused there was a rippa tournament going on.//


 * //WHAT I LEARNT IN THE ART CLASS.//**

 * //Pop art//**
 * //Graffiti and Tagging[icons, logos, free form and urban characters]//**

 * //Draw what I can see not what I imagine//**
 * //I learnt about ratios//**
 * //I learnt about integers in maths//**
 * //I learnt how to paint mountains//**
 * //John Gatenby [ NZ Landscape artist]//**
 * //Kerry Walker [ NZ Landscape artist]//**

Compare these artists - what do they have in common? What is different about them. Write a brief biography about either Cezanne or Matisse.
 * //Shalom Biography//**
 * //John R Gatenby.//**
 * //A NZ landscape artist.//**
 * John Gatenby and Kerry Walker are from New Zealand. Paul Cezanne and Henri Matisse are both French.**
 * Henri Matisse was one of the most innovated and influential artist.**
 * Matisse was born in France, 1869 .He was famous for is expressiveuse use for colour and which gave him the name king of colour.**
 * At the age of seventeen he was about to study law by his father who was a corn merchant, but it was**
 * his mum that gave a interest in art by giving him a paint box at the age of 20 so he started painting in his early life.**
 * Paris was the most exciting place in the world for artists in the late 19th century. In 1891, he was enrolled in the Academic Julian art school and stayed there until 1917.**

Explain why one of these four artists influences you. What have you learnt from copying the work of one of these artists? What 'style' of artist was Matisse/Cezanne? What style do you think Gatenby is?
 * John Gatenby influences me by his artworks because the way it looks so real.**
 * I've learnt a new style of painting that I find really helpful to paint mountains.**
 * Henri Matisse was a expressionist and a impressionist artist.**
 * I'm pretty sure Gatenby uses the style of abstract and realism.**


 * //Thanks Shalom. A good first effort here.// I didn;t actually ask you to write a biography because there was limited information about your artist available. However what you have done is compare artists and in order to do so you had to include some biographical information. //I think you are working at Level 2-3//**


 * //In terms of next steps for writing a biography, I think you need to consider the following://**


 * Purpose:** You have provided some detail about the artists and made a basic comparison. Next time however it would be good to llok for more than a geographical similarity. To gain a level 3 or 4 you would need to have included information such as schooling, major life events and why this person is significant in thier field for each of the artists.
 * Text Organisation:** Your Organisation of the text is pretty good. It is well sequenced and you've used paragraphs, good! N/S Removing the questions by including them in the text so that it reads as one piece of paragraphed writing. Conclusion.
 * Language Features**: Capitals and fullstops are generally good. I'm impressed to see that you know that you can use a last name only once you've intorduced the artist, makes the writing much less clumsy. Watch your tense in words like 'innovated'. Matisse was innovative - not innovated.
