Kia Ora Year 10
This semester focussing on indigenous art - what that is, how it relates to us and how traditional practices and connections inform us now in a contemporary setting.
Over the semester, our course will run as a series of mini projects to explore a wide range of different art mediums and practices that relate to the diversity of culture here at Hornby High School.
At the end of term four, we send your parent's reports. The criteria are:
1) Understanding, communicating and interpreting what you know about Art - how well is your blog maintained in Art?
2) Practising skills to show you know how to make Art works happen - Can you show me you have tried hard, and put effort into each task?
3) Developing your art ideas based on 1) and 2) at the same time as including our own original ideas. Because we don't just appear from nowhere, we walk forward while we look back; Ka Mua, Ka muri.

Artist focus: marilyn webb - mixed media printmaking, Stylisation and landscapes
Learn - Ako - To know:
What do we know about stylisation already? How can we use our photographs of the Quarry to create a new style of artwork looking at ,mixed media and then turning these into a woodblock print (digitally)
Create - Waihanga - To Act:
There are 2 parts to exploring this Artist model. We are going to be completing a chalk pastel landscape emulation using our own photographs then painting back into them with white paint.
We are then going to take inspiration from our images of natural forms to create a circular printing block digitally to cut on the laser cutter and emulate her printing works this way using a cross section outline of our landscape as the border. There needs to be a connection between out design and the place it came from so we are focussing all our attention on the Quarry.

WEEK 1: what is indigenous art?
WEEK 1: what is indigenous art?
Learn - Ako - To know:
What can we define 'INDIGENOUS' as? What comes to mind when we think of this from an Aotearoa context?
Create - Waihanga - To Act:
We are going to look first at connections to natural materials by using charcoal to study shape and form of different objects.
Start by watching to video and experimenting with mark making.
We are then going to create a still life and have a go at drawing different aspects of it focussing on the textures and tone of natural forms.
Think about:
Think about:
+ gestural motions
+ shadows and highlights (you can come back in with an eraser to achieve whiteness)
+ form
artist focus: buck nin & maori contemporary painting

Learn - Ako - To know:
Exploring Maori art and the connection we have with a place or the land and our ancestors.
Create - Waihanga - To Act:
Work through the Buck Nin slides and start a planning page on A3. You need to select:
A landscape you resonate with in NZ
A bone structure
A limited colour palette ( no more than 4) of natural tones
Start creating your planning page of ideas here.
Once you have done this, prep an A4 wet strength with a background colour and outline out landscape line.
Paint exploration task
Paint exploration task
Understanding that paint has different undertones is a huge part of colour theory and being able to identify correct tones for realism.
+ get a palette and put a warm and cool tone of each primary colour
+ start mixing them together warm with warm and cool with cool then start alternating warm with cool. Paint these colours onto an A3 page.
You should end up with 12 different secondary colours.
You are then going to pull up your reference photo on your device (or I can print them) and match at least 10 tones that you see and mix them into a swatch on your page.
Share - Tohatoha - To Value:
+ Create a blogpost that shares your understanding of paint tones and how you are going to use this knowledge in your Buck Nin painting.
+ Describe your painting idea and share a picture of your planning page.
+ How did you come up with your ideas?
+ What is your chosen landscape and why?
The painting process
The painting process
Learn - Ako - To know:
What do we already know about how to paint, mix colours and blend tones in a painting to add depth?
Create - Waihanga - To Act:
We are going to follow the process of painting to build up our final work and understand more about texture, application of paint and layering.
Go through the slides at your own pace and follow all of the processes to complete your painting. You will need your reference landscape photo and your composition plan in front of you.
