Task 1:
This is a children's story about Henri Rousseau, using his paintings. It's really lovely.
You need something to take notes on and a space to quietly watch this, with headphones or in a small group away from other groups.
Work through the story telling video, writing down any key words or words you do not recognise. I recommend you turn on closed captions (small box with CC in a rectangle) as that will help you keep up. I also recommend you watch it twice.
You should have a list of key words and/or words you don't know by the end of this. You require this for Waihanga Ngohe 2.

Task 2:
Here, we are going to be sharing as well as creating.
Find another student who has completed Waihanga Ngohe 1 and go through those words and discuss what you learnt from the video.
Make sure you have definitions for each word, including those you already know.
A quizlet is attached onto this card to help too.

Transcriptions
Have a look through the slides to know how to best do a GRID TRANSFER transcription. This is a great tool to help you break down an artwork and get things all in the right place.

Start drawing from one of Rousseau’s works (transcription). It does not have to be a whole painting, just choose an area of interest to focus on

We are going to read through the quizlet set to understand some new art terms.
Task 1: We are then going to cut up a Rousseau work and arrange it into fore, mid and background to understand the idea of building up an art work. This will help us when it comes to creating our own compositions.
Task 2: Select a range of images or resources to use, decide what is fore, middle and background material. Arrange your pieces on the photocopier (layer them so that you have the background pieces in the back) and generate (make) a minimum of four ideas that you print out as A4 sized.
Task 3: Take your favourite photocopy. Take four pieces of A4 tracing paper and a sharpie, and trace over your photocopy four times using the following instructions:
+ Rearrange the elements - move two things from their original place to another place on the paper.
+ Alter the scale of two elements (things; could be a plant, or a texture) in a second tracing
+ Repeat an element three, five or seven times in a third tracing
+ Create a tracing that is some kind of combination of what you think works best as your fourth tracing

Have a look at the colour theory information. With your finished transcript of your photocopy, we are first going to make another 2 copies of this to save for later.
You are going to colour one copy of your baking paper outline. You need to colour the whole image - background included.
blending analogous colours together
placing complementary colours beside each other
Creating a focal point by having a bold colour surrounded by greens - this could be a flower
Your colours do not have to be the same as your photocopy - get creative.
