Koru art

How to make Koru Art
Things you will need

  • Pastels of any color of your choice
  • Big A3 piece of white paper
  • Art pencil
  • A4 sheet of paper
How to make the Koru Art
  1. Using your Art pencil and A4 paper plan your design.
  2. Once you are happy with your plan, copy your plan onto the A3 paper.
  3. Once you are done copying your Koru, draw a background.
  4. After you finish drawing your background, color the Koru Art with the pastels.(Tip:Try shading, press hard and do the foreground first to prevent smudging)
  5. There you have it your very own Koru Art and have fun. 

What I liked about my Koru Art

Review
I like my Koru Art because the color is bright, bold attractive. I like my background black because the Koru stands out. For my background I have a electric theme with circuit hearts.
If I could do another Koru Art I would try not to go over the pencil lines and do better at shading the big green Koru. I would probably blend the circuit hearts too.
I enjoyed making the Koru Art because I get to color the Koru any color I like and any background I liked too. I didn't like it when I went over the lines and had to make it bigger.
I learnt how to draw Korus by making them fat not skinny. I also learnt how to shade Korus and make them look naturally shaded. 

Screen print

How to make a screen print
What you need

  • Squeegee
  • Frame
  • 2 colored paints
  • 2 sheets of A3 paper
  • A4 sheet of paper
  • Art pencil
  • Scissors
  1. Using your art pencil plan your design on the A4 sheet of paper.
  2. After that use your scissors and cut your picture out. Keep both pieces of paper.
  3.  Cut out the eyes, mouth, nose, etc
  4. Put any piece of paper under the frame and  squeeze some paint at one side. Use the squeegee to spread out the paint on to the A3 paper
  5. Let it dry overnight and use the other piece of paper after drying.
  6. Using the frame again use the sheet of left over paper and put it on the other A3 paper with has the half done screen print.
  7. Use another colour of paint and repeat step 4.
  8. Let it dry and there you have it your very own screen print.
I like my screen print because it is colorful and cute. I don't like the way my screen print looks like a Fire Boy than a Fennec Fox.
If I can redo my screen print I would try not have a slither because I had one this time. Also maybe can also do a cool colour one.
I really enjoyed making my screen print because it was a new experiment and it was really cool to do it. I also didn't like it a little because it got very messy.
I learnt what a squeegee and frame is. I learnt how to do it as well as finishing it because I was away.
