Paper Weaving by Azariah

Today I and my class did Paper weaving. Paper Weaving is very easy to learn and it is also fun to make. Making paper weaving may take a lot of time but it is also fun and exciting. all you need is 2 papers that are the same size. You also need scissors a ruler and a pen and that is all then when you have it you fold the paper and then make a line and then make more lines and then cut it but the other way then you get your other paper and make lines and then cut it and then you have to put the paper up and down and then keep on doing it with your other paper and then you are done.

Matariki Painting by Cassandra

Today we painted the Southern Lights for matariki. We are celebrating Matariki on 24th june in New Zealand. Matariki is a Maori New year celebration. This year for the first time it is a public holiday.

 

I personally liked when we used the pastels because it was nice and easy but when we were ripping the paper it was a little difficult because i had an idea in my head but when I was ripping it it wasn’t ripping as i planned it to be but i didn’t mind so i just carried on.

 

The art I would like to do next is either about Easter, New years, Good friday, Queens birthday, Anzac day, Waitangi day, Day after new years day, and halloween or any other national holiday.
