Te Wa Toi

Everyone was very busy over term four producing some great art work for Te Wa Toi.  We explored colour - mixing primary colours to produce secondary colours, using hot and cold colours to produce some interesting results.  We also looked at texture, stencilling, used pastels, water colours, acrylic paint, cutting and gluing, folding and weaving.  Here are a few examples from our works of art.
