Koru Art
Our 'Koru Art' has been on display in Room 11 for a few weeks.
We walked around Western Heights to look at korus in other art work around our school. Then we went into the bush to check out the silver fern plant, which is where a koru can be found.
Before we did our pastels we had to learn how to draw korus!
We practised outside with chalk on the concrete.
Then we drew our korus with vivid on large pieces of paper in the class.
Finally when we were confident to draw the koru shape, we used chalk on the white paper to outline our design.
Come into Room 11 to check out our pastel koru masterpieces!
We were inspired by the beautiful art work by New Zealand artist Raewyn Harris...
