DISCUSSION:

We talked briefly about the features of birds, and discussed the unique aspects of some birds.

We also talked about their previous art works where chalk pastel was used.

RESEARCH:

Students viewed images of birds.

EXPLORE:

We looked closely to see the shapes, both geometric and organic, that each bird feature has. Students then used pencil to sketch lots of birds using these shapes as a guide.

They also further explored chalk pastels and their use in art.

ART MAKING:

Students used their knowledge to draw and create a brightly coloured chalk pastel bird.

EXHIBIT:

Cutting out and mounting their art work was also part of the process.

Art works have been on display during our art exhibition.

REFLECTION:

Students needed to revisit their learning intentions in order to meet the artistic criteria set. We also reflected and discussed the successes achieved.
